Move Prepar3d from C:\ to a SSD (G)

Post by 1franciscodep »

I have Prepar3D v.5; I am running out of space on C:\ and need to move the program to a dedicated SSD (G). I will highly appreciate if someone can provide with instructions.
OS: Windows 10 - pro , Thanks in advance

You cannot just move a flight simulator installation from one drive to another, it would create havoc in your registry.

The way to do it is to uninstall it (sorry to have to say that) from where it is now, clean out every trace of it - including in the registry, and then reinstall it where you want it.
