Been looking at the Iraq map lately and I want to get it. The map itself is roughly 111GB. My DCS folder is sitting at 600+GB. The drive I have DCS installed on also has another game on it as well. I currently have 183GB free out of 931GB; it's a 1TB NVMe. I have another 1TB SSD available I can transfer DCS or even my other game to. How hard is it to swap DCS to my open drive without having to completely uninstall it and then having to reinstall all the mods and modules? I'm thinking just dragging and dropping won't end well, unless it's that easy.

Yes, it's that easy! You just move it. Well, copy first, then remove old folder.
Run a full repair, and update the necessary shortcuts to reflect the new location. That's it.
Cheers!

Really?! Well alrighty then. Usually that dragging and dropping doesn't end well for some things but I'll take it! Thanks man! Now to see how long that'll take...

27 mins...Not as long as I thought for 600+GBs...

Always worked like a charm for me. And when doing a repair it will fix potential copy errora.
