DCS Transfer to dedicated SSD from C Drive

[cichlidfan]

 

However, I am a bit concerned about the last step - uninstalling and installing again - will I lose one de/activation of A10, P51 and UH-1 ?

Should I deactivate the modules beforehand, or should simply uninstall / install and pray it does not ask about activation?

 

If you are not re-installing the OS, or altering the registry, your activations will remain in effect so deactivating will not be needed. I uninstall DCS often, and then re-install without deactivating. It has always worked fine for me.

If you are reinstalling the OS: Hey Gerd! Just bought my first SSD and just built it into Windows 8 from scratch. Wanted to build from ground up. All I did in DCS was go to Module Manager and copy the serial numbers then deactivate my 2 modules. Once I reinstalled DCS on the new windows drive, all I needed to do was reinstall the software on those modules and it asked for the serial key on first launch of the software. I pasted the numbers in with no issues.

kind of curious since I was planning to get an SSD drive for DCS, but I was going to install both windows and DCS onto that same SSD drive since it's big enough to fit both.

 

Now has anyone done any real benchmark that shows a different between separating the two? One SSD dedicated to Windows, and another SSD dedicated for other games.

Excuse my ignorance, but just a quick question, if you mirror from one drive to the other, is this the same as copy and paste, thanks
