When you first install the game (1.0), the folder contains files named Data 1-6.orc.
Each patch adds similar files to the folder: Data 7-13 (p 1.1-1.5.1)
I'm going to guess that if you copy these files to a removable drive and then put them in the folder with a newly installed game (1.0), it will be beneficial.
Thank you for the advice, I'll try it and let you know.

although, to be honest, it probably won't work: there are probably some changes in the existing files in addition to the data files. We'll see.
