The best way to move P3Dv4.5 to new SSD

[BigT65 7]

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?

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?

If you have a back-up software, make a back-up and re-install that on the new drive

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.
