P3Dv4 files transfer question

[SunDevil56 183]

So I have a 512gb M.2 SSD on my Windows 10 pc with P3Dv4.2 installed, it works great and I like it a lot but it's becoming too small for my needs. 

To that end I've purchased a 1 TB M.2 SSD and my question is this.... The current SSD is setup as drive D and has just one folder on it that contains P3Dv4, can I simply move this folder to a temporary location on my C:\ drive, install the new SSD and set it up as D drive in disk manager, then move the folder from the temporary location on C:\ back on to the new SSD D drive...??

Any info appreciated.

Yes.As long as the final P3D drive is D you are ok. Why not just clone current D to larger drive and renumber drives? Might be faster. But as long as you wind up with P3D on D all your registry entries etc should be just fine.

Thanks Vic.

I would consider cloning as you suggested, however my mobo has only two M.2 drive slots and according to the manual when the x16 PCI express slot is occupied (it is) the M.2 slot directly behind it is unavailable. Not sure exactly why that's the case, but I distinctly remember reading that in the mobo manual when I built this system.

 

Thanks again.
