Can I transfer game saves from one pc to another?

Hello! I've recently gotten a new laptop to replace my previous one, and I've been wanting to transfer my games from the old one to my new laptop. I tried backing up my itch game files into an external hard drive and transfer them to the new one, but none of my game progress was transferred, meaning I have to restart the game.

I'm pretty far into quite a few of these games, and getting to that point again from the start would take hours, something which I don't have the time nor motivation for. Is there a way to circumvent this? Thanks for reading!

That depends on where each game saves its data. The Itch app only changes that if you use the sandbox, otherwise it's the game's usual save file location.
