December 11, 20214 yr I'm well intro setting up a new Windows 10 machine for flight simulation, and I thought I was choosing to install the many FS2020 'Packages' on my secondary 1TB SSD drive, but instead I chose my 4TB 7200RPM drive. That folder is currently 193GB Machine is an HP OMEN i9-10850K CPU @3.6GHz, with 64GB RAM, Nvidia 3090 with 24GB memory and the drives are: Windows drive 2TB SSD Second SSD for high speed data 2TB SSD 4TB 7200RPM disk drive The MSFS2020 Packages are on the 4TB, I meant to put them on the second SSD. DO I need to fully uninstall and reinstall FS2020 to move them safely or is there an easier and less time consuming way?

December 11, 20214 yr Haven't tested this in your scenario specifically but it worked when I restored a backup moving from Windows 10 to 11 and installed on a different drive name. You simply move over the core Microsoft Flight Simulator folder, containing "Community" and "Official". Then you head into UserCfg.opt, scroll to the bottom and change that path to your new location. That should make it see that new location without any issues.

December 11, 20214 yr You can move the folders. Once you launch the sim after moving the folder, it will ask to update, instead of updating, click browse button at the bottom and select your new folder. It should scan it and continue launching fine. Edited December 11, 20214 yr by Tuskin38
