Move FSX from HDD to SSD

[Azone 39]

I purchased an SSD in December for the purpose of loading P3D v2.0 on it. I've come to realize that it still needs a lot of work before I would be satisfied flying it, so in the trash bin it goes.

 

What is the easiest way to move FSX from my HDD to my newly emptied SSD?

If you were smart enough to install FSX on a separate partition in the beginning, it's as easy as copy paste, and change the letter indicator of your SSD to whatever your old partition was. (which obviously means you must change to old one to something else 1st)

 

If however you went with a standard installation in C/programfiles........etc, its more complicated, as you can't change the drive letter for obvious reasons. In that case I would recommend reading the above suggested links.
