Move to new drive

[Charlatan 68]

Hi There

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to move your install to a new drive?  Downloaded and installed fine, but to drive C.  I would have preferred it on a different drive

Go to Windows Settings \ Apps then find MSFS and click on "Move" button

I tried this but I get a big blue dialog box warning "other apps are on this drive... do want to delete those apps.  Anybody got this figured out?

Interesting - I used thee move feature from C drive to D drive with no issues... i didn't get that warning box you speak of..hmmm

Didnt work, it moved a load of stuff but left the original install as well and when going to play it just loads of the original...useless

anyone got it figured out?

Sorry I should have said...Microsoft Store version.

 

I have now uninstalled and then re-installed to the new drive and guess what?...it still left all the original files on my old drive and insists on loading the old copy whilst ignoring the new install....FFS what an abortion of an install process they managed to create

Hello,

Rename or remove your Fs folder located on C:\somewhere.

Then launch Fs, it will ask for the destination.
This is what I did, I copied all data from C:\path to my fs folder to E :\path to my new fs folder...

renamed C:\ ... msfs folder ... and it worked ! I then removed the ms fs folder  located on C !
