August 17, 201510 yr I have my P3D installed on a ssd separate from my os. Is it as easy as installing new ssd and copy and paste then reassign new ssd my old ssd drive letter? Will addons be affected that are on this drive? Ezdok, Orbx, Accufeel? Kevin Humphryes
August 18, 201510 yr You can try using one of the drive cloning utilities. Most of them will perform clones to a different sized hard drive..

Will addons be affected that are on this drive? Ezdok, Orbx, Accufeel? Yes to the first question. I would do a backup / restore drive, but copy will also do it. Bert
August 18, 201510 yr Copy should work, just make sure to change the drive letter after the copy to your original drive letter (you'll have to remove or re-assigned the old drive to a new letter). The new SSD drive ID (not drive letter) may trigger copy protection of some 3rd party software. Cheers, Rob.
August 18, 201510 yr Author Thanks Fspilot, Bert and Rob I feel a lot better about doing this now. Some say use cloning tool some say copy paste. Kevin Humphryes
August 18, 201510 yr Since you have P3D on a non-OS drive, it makes things A LOT easier. Cloning tools are typically used for OS drive. Cheers, Rob.
August 18, 201510 yr Cloning tools are typically used for OS drive. Rob, as usual, makes a good point!

August 19, 201510 yr I installed p3d on a freshly formated 250 GB SSD. No problem, just make sure add ons for p3d go to that drive. Regards Lamar Wright
