April 13, 20242 yr I need to free up some space on my 1T SSD. P3D 4.5 with addons is taking up 225 GB. I have a blank 500 GB SSD I would like to move P3D and its addons to. Is there a best way to do this? I read somewhere once that all you have to do is cut and paste. Is this true?

April 13, 20242 yr cut and paste will lose all register input for both base sofeware and many add-ons. Not sure if it have any performance impact, but the most convenient way might be copy it out then made a symbolic link back?
April 13, 20242 yr If you have a back-up software, make a back-up and re-install that on the new drive Peter
April 13, 20242 yr Author The back-up/reinstall method seems like a good idea but won't there still be registry issues. But I suppose a lot of things get backed-up by users then reinstalled on another drive. / i7 8700K CPU @ 4.8 GHz, 32 GB DDR4 3000 memory, Gigabyte Aorus Z370 MB, EVGA RTX 2060 Super XC Ultra GPU 8GB GDDR6 Memory, MasterAir MA610P CPU cooler, 1T PCIe NVMe SSD, 500GB SSD, 2T HDD, 3 Asus 24" monitors, Saitek X56 Rhino H.O.T.A.S., Altec Surround Sound System.
