Regarding moving saves from Windows 7 to Vista, I would say they will most likely be just fine - it would be a very poor show by Bethesda if they didn't work! (sorry, looney)

As evidence, I can still load my save games from 2013 (when I had windows 7 or vista on my PC) on my current installation, where I have windows 8.1.

Gremlin, I'd take your word over mine any day. I am so not techie, was just guessing. My "expertise" ends at "click." That is good news

Gremlin, that is good news indeed. My Skyrim character is very powerful...I think...can't really remember...and I would like to continue with her. Or him. No, it must be her, because I remember a certain blacksmith. I just know that I was a long way in and loving every second of it. Then we moved, and we moved again, and now I'm in the middle of several games but Skyrim is back on the list.

Oldman, did you try saving outside of Breezehome and then logging back in. The message won't be on the ground BTW it's was stuck into the left side of my front door on an arrow.

Thank you Debra. I just checked and it was there. I'm on a different quest now and just used an earlier save to check it out but now that I know where it is I can get back to it next time I'm in Whiterun.

I too was looking on the ground and in all the wrong places and missed the obvious.

Thanks again for the info. Will be exploring the house soon.

Thanks, Debra

Woohoo, Oldman, have fun!

Glad you found it Oldman! Enjoy.
