How to Move Games from C Drive to D Drive

[@saulhudson9777]

worked for me, many thanks! I have moved my GTAV online from drive D (hdd) to drive J (ssd) - 108GB of data 😅even without restore point.

[@aManSwanson]

was able to clear 100gb off my c drive, thanks!

[@nickie4875]

It works!!! Many thanks!!!

[@raghumalik5706]

Worked like a charm! Seamlessly moved my games to another drive. Thank you so much!

[@jawad_youtube]

Thank you so much. It worked.❤ I moved my Fifa19 41gb file from C Drive(SSD) to F Drive(HDD).

[@Master-X-D]

So it's running slow now !?

[@Master-X-D]

I want to move Photoshop cc from my C drive to D (HDD) but I am afraid it runs slow 😢 plz sir reply asap 🙏

[@jawad_youtube]

@@Master-X-D It starts a lil bit slower. But the game performs well (no drop in fps) because gaming performance depends on CPU, GPU, RAM not much on Storage drive.

[@jawad_youtube]

@@Master-X-D Photoshop may run slow. I keep all my programs in my SSD.

[@thedilrich3737]

Thank you so much!!! It worked very well and I could complete the 33gb update of game I play!!

[@RuthieBC]

Thanks! This worked for me, though I had to do a little work to figure out how to open the program after I moved it. I deleted the old shortcuts, then went into the program files and right clicked on the Audacity application file and created a new shortcut. You can also double click on the application file within the program files and open the program.

your energy is the perfect pick-me-up on any day! ☕

[@amanmaurya-gp1fb]

Cannot create a file when that file already exists. showing this in cmd

[@NHSSHINOBI]

Stay away from this tutorial because once the files are transferred your pc will not recognize the new location thus will then not allow you to open any programs. Your apps will not work. Repair and uninstall wont work until the original file is back in the original location. I find it is easier to uninstall and reinstall than transfer.

this tutorial worked for me so...

This was very helpful thank you :D

[@ToneysReviews]

Ok, I moved everything to my Z drive. However, why does the C drive still has the file?

[@mt_dontplay2762]

Same did u fix that? Should I delete it from c drive and only keep it on my other drive?

The same file is still exists in the c drive...and the work done perfectly,moved to d drive by this method.. Do i need to delete the file from c drive...is that the drive we backuped earlier

@@mt_dontplay2762 yup. I deleted the file in my drive C. But I had to download the resources for the game I'm playing.

[@Seboostian]

Help please. When I try to run the 2nd command it says Cannot create a file when that file already exists

[@Known_Unknown144]

Check to make sure you don’t have it running in the background in your taskbar bottom right corner.

[@Rizepulsz]

Adding to xotics point you can open task manager and see what is running in the background

[@Contamiply]

I had the same problem but it means that you already have the file in the drive your moving it too. Delete that file, make sure the file is in your main drive then try again and it should work.

[@jbizz334]

There is a way easier video to understand

[@slothbtw2479]

Make sure you run as admin

[@midhunraj5638]

Thank you❤️ it worked fine✅

[@biglow7027]

My memory on C is a 2TB ssd while my memory D is a CD 4tb, does where you save your game decide your fps/graphics/loading time??

[@Hoodlullaby]

yes

[@misterpenguin3104]

I’d suggest loading the game to whatever drive you have windows on that way it runs directly off your computer

[@nyzhe]

I’m trying this but moving it from my D drive to my C but it keeps saying access denied and retrying, am I not able to do this? Does it only work for C: to D: ?

[@youssefm9617]

did you make sure that command prompt is running as admin?

[@Xavier-du2hy]

If I try to do the second command it says that the "mklink" is not recognized as a function. What should I do?

[@terminal_noob4015]

Make sure the drive the file was transferred to is at the beginning

[@lamarelwan3015]

I part of it is still in drive C and another part in drive D what should i do now?

[@SheckleRFan715]

if u reformat your pc, all the games from D will removed?

[@basselzaki]

why we do the conjunction step ? i see that the program i transferred exists in both drive c and drive d

[@Animelover143bc]

If you have problem in mklink part go delete the old file from c drive and don't forget to run as administrator ❤

[@Mikeuhanma]

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Hello, after I moved them do I have to delete the file from the other drive? Because it still appears I’m not sure if I have to delete it?

[@ٹومبھئی]

I HAVE IT IN C and now also in d what should i do delete in c?

[@NHSSHINOBI]

I cannot open any games or programs because cannot find file location. Any suggestions?

[@Who_Does]

Did not work for me. Luckily I made a restore point. Transfer failed for some reason so I tried to restart and my PC wouldn't load.

How long does the command run for? It has been running for a while now

[@faisal8049]

Yep

[@nephalm5357]

it all depends on the game... some games, like a MMO, you want to keep on the SSD.
