I am sure this question has been asked before but I can't seem to find a procedure to accomplish moving the data processing to another disk drive. I have updated my computer with an SSD and don't want to use the SSD for the writes the client does and would like to change to another disk drive, ie drive "C" to drive "D" . Is there a procedure avaliable? I have found some items indicating something along the lines of copying all the files to the new drive and deleting the application and reinstalling on the new drive. I get what they are saying but wouldn't the reinstall overwrite the existing files? I don't want to lose any of the data I have accumulated over all these years. Please advise...
Thanks
Ken
