July 21, 201411 yr I have two hard drive disk in my PC. First HD is SSD C:\ contains OS , P3D and FSX and all major add-ons Second HD K:\ have free space 914GB. Almost empty I want to keep OS and P3D in SSD 1st drive and move FSX to K:\ drive I never done it before. Here are my two questions: 1- Can I move FSX Folder Copy/Pase to K\ ? ( This will be easy way) 2- Do I have unistall FSX and all FSX addons and reinstall them to K;\? (This will be hard way) Thanks Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
July 21, 201411 yr Moderator Safest way is to uninstall/reinstall but you can copy/paste BUT you need to change the registry settings for FSX. There is a tool that will do that BUT your add-ons might not work IF they rely on their own registry setting. Really think you should uninstall and reinstall FSX and all add-ons.

July 21, 201411 yr Author Vic, Thanks for your reply. You are right. Uninstall/reinstall way to go. Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
July 21, 201411 yr Having tried the "easy" way in the past, using the "Move" option to move FSX to another drive, it indeed causes problems with complex add-on's. The big advantage with a fresh install is that it will be "clean" with no partial files that may be present from incomplete uninstalls. A new install should run better but it does take time. Good Luck! Lyn
