Hey,
If I copy the Lockheed Martin folder to my SSD,
will it work instead of installing my whole OS on it than Prepar3d?
Thanks![]()

Absolutely not.
LM (and Windows) requires the sim installed, not copied or cloned.
Uninstall and reinstall is the only option.
My objective is to have the speed as if the OS and Prepar3d where installed on my SSD.
You will have to change the registry setting to point to that folder. Then it will be incredibly slow. If you have storage issues right now, I'd buy a bigger drive and clone to it. I use AOMEI Backupper.

I hate Windows 10, get used to it.

The uninstall the sim and all the addons and reinstall to the new location on the SSD. You MUST do this in the correct way so see the appropriate post over at L-M's specific forum.
If you do it any other way you will stuff it up almost certainly unless you know exactly what you're doing.
Your title says 'external ssd'. If this is the case, it will be dead slow. It will just not work.
You can't say that without knowing what SSD it is, and how it's hooked into the rest of the system. Many modern SATA3 external SSD's are faster than older Hard Drives. Your making assumptions that a re simply NOT viable based on the information provided...
I'm sure if our OP wanted us to comment on his choice of an external SSD he would have asked about that, and not the practical aspects of moving P3D over.
However, like you I do hope it's been thought about carefully - it would be a PITA to go to all the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling the sim and all allied or associated addons only to find out it's slower...
