Advice needed move FS2020 from Drive C to Drive D

[inky160]

My SSD drive C is near capacity.

I would like to move and dedicate FS2020 from SSD Drive C to an external SSD Drive D.

I assume the file path will need to change beginning with D rather C drive.

Example: D:\Users\username\appdata\local\...etc

Are there procedures on how to swap drives for FS2020?

Thanks

From what I have read, it's best to just download a fresh copy to the D drive.

Does that sound right?

My FS2020 is the MS Store version, not Steam.

That’s what I would do anyway. I’d wait until the new update is available later today though :)

Another thing.. you’re wanting to install it on an external drive? How is this drive connected.. usb 2..usb 3? You may find it’ll bottleneck. An internal SSD would be better.

If you have enough money buy a larger ssd drive , use a diskcopy program for your C: drive and put the copy of C: on the new disk then extend the volume with windows or 3rd party prog. if your drive is 250gb and your new one is 1tb then thenew 1tb disk will appear as 250gb then do the extend.The drive stays C:. I use a free prog called AOMEI Backupper to backup my disks. Like someone said external ssd are a bottleneck. Edited November 18, 2021 by bursco
