When transferring the ThrottleStop.ini file to a new PC/laptop, will it cause any issues due to a new CPU being detected?

Can I safely transfer the file to my new laptop and the undervolt settings I used won't mess up my new laptop's CPU? Does it make any changes to the voltage settings of my CPU at all, or is it ignored?

Additionally, what does WinPowerPlans.txt do? Is it just a text file for viewing, or does it actually save any settings/do anything?

If you are using ThrottleStop on a different computer, I would recommend that you do not copy the INI configuration file.

WinPowerPlans.txt

This file contains the Windows power plans that ThrottleStop finds on your computer. I would not copy this file either.

Thanks! So the text file has no real function and is just for info purposes?

no real function

It has a function. ThrottleStop creates this text file so you can use ThrottleStop to access the Windows power plans. I could have deleted this file but then some anti-virus program would likely complain that ThrottleStop was deleting files from your computer.

Leaving the file allows users to see what power plans were found. This could be useful when troubleshooting.

Oh, ok. So what happens if you delete it? Will it just create another one or does it mess up/change the EPP values for laptops? Will the .txt file be made automatically on my new laptop?

I think this had to do with the powercfg command you were helping me with back then but I can't remember.

That file is just the output from the powercfg command. If you delete it, a new one will be created when you push the + button on the main screen of ThrottleStop.

I've actually never used that function, how exactly does it work? I'm guessing the powercfg command AND the + button create that text file and it just happens to be there because I fiddled with EPP values?
