Rename save game files^[2]

Browse to the save folder of the Microsoft Store version
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\3951BlooberTeamS.A.TheMedium_myqva651hxz16\SystemAppData\wgs

Paste the files in the target save folder
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\Medium\Saved\SaveGames\
Now go through the files one by one and do the following:
1. Open the file in Notepad.
2. On the 12th (or slightly below) line of the file, locate the /Script/ part and rename the file based on the specified type:
  - /Script/Medium.MediumSaveObject files should be renamed to SaveGameData_#.sav where # is a digit starting from 0.
  - /Script/Medium.MediumPlayerProfile should be renamed to PlayerProfile.sav
  - /Script/InputRebinding.InputRebindingSaveData should be renamed to InputRebinding.sav
  - /Script/Achievements.AchievementsSaveObject should be renamed to Achievements.sav
Launch the game on the other platform and the transferred saves should not be recognized.
