November 19, 20214 yr Hello everyone, I am needing some advise, and who better to ask than you. Having updated msfs with the latest (su7), I find that my HD (500gb) is pretty much full and I have not got the room to update other parts of the sum, for example, aircraft. Now, I do have a second HD (2tb), but that dedicated to all my other sims I use. I am going to add a third HD, a 2tb, but do I get a SSD or HDD, how easy/difficult is it to fit and how easy/difficult is it to move msfs to it. Many thanks in advance Rich Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60GHz. RAM 32 GB 1 500GB SSD and 1 2TB HDD NVIDIA RTX2080Ti 11GB WATER COOLED
November 19, 20214 yr They are not difficult to fit, quite easy in fact, look on you tube there will be a few videos showing you haw to do it, if you are unsure take your pc to a computer shop to have the work done. Moving MSFS should be as easy as unistalling it off your original drive and installing it on your new drive. I have seen posts though saying they had problems installing MSFS on a drive different to the C drive.

Personally I would not recommend a HDD at all, a SSD is great but perhaps the best would be a NVMe (if your motherboard supports them). There are many YouTube videos on how to fit any of the three providing there is space in your PC case, which is why many folk like me prefer to build them ourselves allowing for future expansion. You might also like to consider 2 x 1tb SSD's - one for the C drive and another for MSFS. Having Windows on an SSD makes Windows 10 / 11 load with lightening speed and generally helps all programmes on it no end. Moving MSFS to a new partition/drive is fairly straightforward too. Good luck 🙂 Edited November 19, 20214 yr by Espana Pete added a bit more AMD Ryzen 7 5800X on ROG CROSSHAIR VIIl DARK HERO (AM4), Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 V2 OC and 32 GB Vengeance Pro Ram 3600MHz.

November 19, 20214 yr Author Thank you for the advice guy's. My C drive is SSD 500 Gb with windows 10 on, never heard of NVMe, I'll have to look into that. Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60GHz. RAM 32 GB 1 500GB SSD and 1 2TB HDD NVIDIA RTX2080Ti 11GB WATER COOLED

NVMe is what I have the sim installed to. It's more like installing a small circuit board onto your motherboard. But as Espana Pete says, your motherboard needs to support it/have a slot for it. A very fast drive. Otherwise, go the SSD route. I wouldn't bother with HDD now.
