I installed this game from physical disks, there were about 10/12 and they took forever.
I have since just been enjoying the sim but I recently got a new m.2 drive that will improve loading times.
Does anyone know how to properly relocate the DVD content for the physical edition?
I dont want to have to re install from all the disks again and lose my settings/saves in the process.
When I go to Apps & features, there seems to be two parts to FS2020.
‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’ - 1.39GB (moveable)
‘Microsoft Flight Simulator - DVD Conent’ - 101GB (not moveable)
I know where I have these installed etc, it’s just the case of when I move the files, how do I tell the launcher where stuff is etc?
Thanks for any help!
SOLVED.
For anyone wondering how to do this:
Go to the location you installed the DVD content to. The folder you created for the installation, move this to your new drive.
You should also move the launcher as well, to do this right click on the windows button > Apps & Features. Click on ‘Microsoft Flight Simulator’ and then click move (select drive).
Once all the files have finally moved over, boot the game as normal, and then the launcher will ask for the NEW location of the files. Point it to your folder and thats it!

In Microsoft Apps there are two MS Flight Simulator: The Launcher App (9.5 GB) has a “Move” option in the drop down menu. The DVD content (101 GB) does not have the “Move Option” instead it has a Modify option in the drop down menu. Can the DVD content be moved using the Modify drop down option?
