1.) Look for the folder where your Genshin Impact is installed
2.) Copy the whole folder and paste it to your external hard drive (provided it's connected to your PC)
3.) Paste to your laptop hard drive
4.) Create a shortcut for the Genshin Impact launcher
5.) Look for the config file inside the Genshin impact folder
6.) Change the location under game_install_path to where you saved it in the laptop (example C:/GAME/Genshin)
7.) Make sure to install Microsoft visual C++ 2005 up to Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 at least
