Copying/moving files from the sims folders (on community/OneStore) to a folder of another HDD is impossible; i allways get the message : your organisation doesn’t allow this action; reason (file protection…) ??
In the future i want to move all sim data from my actual HDD to a new M.2 SSD of 1TB, in order to speedup the the FPS/sims startup time; can anyone advice me how to do this.
Gratefully appreciated
My first installation was to install FS onto a new, bkank SSD drive with no OS. FS ran but it would not save any profiles, settings, logs. Nothing. So I installed another Windows 10 on that drive so I had a dual boot system. Then installed FS onto that drive and have not had a problem since. Your result may be different. HTH
If your new M2 or SSD is a Samsung, use Samsung’s program to
clone your drive.
If Intel or Western Digital or vendor, use their software to clone your drive.
I have used Samsung’s Migration and it works great.
I just used Crucial’s software to clone my wife’s new Crucial SSD
for her laptop to replace her existing HDD. It worked great.
Actually, that software was a “Crucial” subset of “Acronis”
Backup Software. You must have a Crucial SSD.
I was so impressed that I bought the Acronis
Backup 2021 Software for our 3 Pcs.

Thank you for replying; i am curiuos if my fsim data can be transferred to the ssd, because of a move/copy command to a folder of another drive is blocked every time by the sims organisation.
Don’t know what you mean by “sims organization”.
But the software I mentioned will clone (copy) the data (bits and bytes)
on the original drive to the new drive. It is just copying the data
(ones and zeros) at that level. The program does not know or care what
the data is.
I am talking from a perspective of a personally owned PC and SSD drive.
(community/OneStore ?) Is this Android related?
You can go to the Samsung , Crucial web site and ask them about your
specific question.
I don’t know if a M2 or SSD drive can be blocked from being
copied like by a corporation.
But think that HR/personal info or corporate info could.
I could see “MS Windows” giving a Copy Protection block if the data is copy protected by software on the device.
Hi simmer,
First of all nice Xmas days and a prosperous new 2021.
I saw that the samsung migration source drive is per dafault allways the one whith the OS sw on (mine is a ssd of 256Gb - factory installed on my Acer Predator PC. I want to transfer all sim data stored from a Hdd of 4Tb to the new samsung ssd of 1Tb (970 EVO NVMeM.2).
I remarked that i can’t change the source drive of the migration program; is there another way to fix the transfer from a data HD to the new SSD? Much appreciated your advice.
kind regards
I can’t understand your configuration.
Tell me:
I definitely can help you.
Please reply…
Hi sir,
My pc (Acer Predator G3 H710) has next drives ans sw/data installed :
1x SSD of 256Gb, on which winbdows10 and the Fsim exe and all related files are stored, plus some other user utilities; 2 HDD of each 4 TB (Seagate), on which the Fsim data is stored (community/OnStore). The SSD is placed on the M.2 slot on the motherboard, when i bought the PC;
after investigation i saw that; formerly i thought that it was placed in another postion. The PC has only one M.2 slot.
The point is that i want my Fsim data moved to a much faster Samsung V-Nand ssd (970 EVO NVMe M.2 of 1Tb, which i bougth recently. For the moment my Fsim data (during installation) is on a 4Tb hd.
The migration sw of Samsung per default takes allways as source the drive on which the OS is on, and as destination the new samsung ssd.
So if i replace the existing ssd by the new one, firstly i need of a bootable windows drive (on usb stick?), which is don’t have. What can i do as replacement procedure (maybe another one than the samsung migration). Aby advice is appreciated.
kind regards

ps. all the best for 2021, with much less problems that the fromer year and lots of health.
If You have Windows 10 go to Apps & Features. There find the Microsoft Flight Simulator. Open it. There you can move the Flightsim Data to another disk.
Greetings Juergen
Note for procedure below with the Windows “Move” Command:
In the search box (bottom left of desktop screen):
To move a directory:
MOVE [drive:][full path]dirname1 dirname2
where dirname1 is your present FS directory to move
where dirname2 is the new location to move to and only x: (your 970 drive)
Where “1ron2” is my User Id in C:\Users C\Users\1ron2\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages
And my FS2020 is installed in my D:\FS2020 directory and D:\WpSystem
These are where the “Install Program” put there
Move syntax
Moves files and renames files and directories.
see www.https://www.computerhope.com/movehlp.htm
To move one or more files:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]file name1[,…] destination
To move a directory:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]dirname1 dirname2
| [drive:][path]file name1 | Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move. |
|---|---|
| destination | Specifies the new location of the file. The destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you are moving only one file, you can also specify a destination file name, if you want the moved file to be renamed. |
| [drive:][path]dirname1 | Specifies the directory you want to rename. |
| dirname2 | Specifies the new name of the directory. |
| /Y | Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. |
| /-Y | Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an existing destination file. |
The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This switch may be overridden with /-Y on the command line. The default protocol is to prompt on overwrites unless MOVE command is being executed from within a batch script.
Great answer.
Much better than mine. It’s funny, I never noticed the “Move” option.
Don’t even think I have moved anything. Mostly Cut and Paste. Delete and reinstall.
