    moving MSFS20 to a different drive?


    I bought MSFS on steam and chose my f: drive (HD) - OS Win10 for the installation
    everything works fine, but now I would like to move it to my e: drive (SSD)


    the only info I found was this: "from Windows settings from the start menu, go to apps. Find the app you want to move, click it, click move, choose new location"


    when I do this, it doesn't give me the option to move, only to modify (grayed out) or to uninstall.
    Is there any other way to move the installation, or do I have to uninstall and reinstall with the entire download again?

    Thanks for any help

    :)
