Can I make all my future updates go to the D: drive instead of the C: drive?

Just move it over to the new drive like any other directory. I moved WOWS directory over to my E: drive, an SSD, a couple of weeks ago.

 

The launcher will then report that it can't find the .exe file for WOWs, so you will have to start the game directly from the .exe file since the launcher won't work. However, the launcher will prompt you to tell it where the game is.

 

Once you tell the launcher where the game is, then the next update/patch, it will faithfully update the game, and itself. After that everything will work normally and you will not need to use the .exe directly. 


That is what happened with me.

 

If this doesn't work, remember, you can always move it back.

Find your hard drive that the game is located. Once you have, find the folder that says Games. Click it, and there should be WoWs in it. Now on the sidebar, is all the directories. If you scroll down, your hard drive(s) will be located there. Click and drag the WoWs folder into the other hard drive you want it in, and it'll copy.

Once it's done copying, delete the game folder in the old hard drive. When you start up the game, it'll run into an error, cause it's not in said old hard drive. Go into the WoWs folder located in the new hard drive, and find WoWs Launcher. Click and drag either to the taskbar or desktop. It'll work.

What's the name of the launcher file?
