If I bought a new internal Harddrive.....

[Pendragon1951]

Just a quick question, I was considering buying another harddrive to supplement the one i already have, my question is can I simply move the World of Warships game folder over to the new drive or do I need to uninstall it and re-install the game to the new drive, I have win 10 by the way?

Yes you can just move it over but i'd personally just reinstall it.

Should look into an SSD instead though.  It's wonderful having the operating system, page file, and game of the month on it.

It's hard to reap the full benefits of an ssd unless your OS is on there too.

Honestly outside of rebooting speeds, I do not see the benefit of the OS being on the SSD. I have large game files on here like WoWs and Fallout 4 but I do not reboot my PC enough to get the benefits of moving 30 gigs of OS files into it

​Well ya your rebooting speeds and windows update stuff.  But the page file itself (which is movable, doesn't need to be on the OS drive) your game is using the page file every time a map loads they get stored in there the more maps you do the bigger it gets.  The default windows defragger will not defrag the page file.

Having it on the SSD for me at least buys me a minute basically going from loading in right about that time to - Ho hum 50 seconds to go, guess I'll alt tab and forget I'm in a match "Sorry I'm AFK guys!"

I had a WD 7200 that seemed to be just fine prior.  But I kept it religiously optimized.
