I guess you could try reinstalling the game to the new one and copy the save files.
If the save files are not in the hard drive then i guess they are on the old laptop, normally between the documents or in the appdata folder.
Even if i had a girlfriend i would never play one with her, and of course family members are out of the question.
I think it would bother me if someone would just start crying or talk it trough,and i dont think it would interest them.
