Moving folders from Appdata

[DickMcFuck]

Hey folks,

ive got a technical question regarding the Appdata Folder. Ive bought a large external HDD recently to extend my storage and want to move all of my Games and Art onto that, so now i am wondering if i can move my saves from the Appdata Folder onto this drive and still use them without issues.

Hi, if you want to relocate the appdata folder to your HDD, you need to tell Windows about it, here is the procedure:

-> move your appdata folder to your HDD
-> Open the cmd console as an admin
-> you should be somewherte like this "C:\Users\YourName>"
-> type "cd appdata" (to access the appdata directory)
-> type "mklink /(your HDD letter) local (your HDD letter):\appdata\local"

So for example if your HDD is the letter D, you should type "mklink /D local D:\appdata\local"

Hope this help!
