Moving MSFS2020 to Drive D

Microsoft recommend installing on C; that’s good enough for me.

However, the packages can go wherever you like; just create the folder of your choice and, if they already exist on C, copy them to your new folder.

Then point the sim to your new folder; no need to edit any files. Check it all works, and delete the original packages (just the packages, not the containing folders); the sim expects to find them there I think. They will remain empty so won’t take up any of your storage space.

You can delete the folders too, if they are missing the first thing an update does is create new empty ones and even if you then point to a different location these don’t get deleted unless by yourself.
