Need some advice moving FSX to SSD

[FSXDan 0]

Hey everyone!

 

I have read many forum posts including on here, of how to move my FSX folder and P3D...from my 1TB HDD to my new 512GB SSD drive.

 

I hear MKLINK is the best method, but which. This forum has posted to use /J and others /D. Not sure if this is even the best method. My questions are as follows.

 

1) What is the most up to date procedure of moving FSX over without having to reinstall all my sceneries and addons (there's a lot!!). 

 

and 2) if it is simply as a mklink from the old D drive to new E drive....will it still be slow like the HDD or will this be fully optimized still for SSD. My thought for a moment

was that since its still a junction to the old D drive, that it somehow still uses the D drive and would make it HDD laggy than everything just running SSD. I think I am wrong on this but wanted to ask.

Thanks again for your help !
