Rebuilt computer

eluksic

I had to rebuild my computer after lighting fried my power supply and motherboard. I went with a new SSD drive for the rebuild also. I was going to install the latest Studio version but all my purchased content is split between 2 other older drives because of how I had to salvage things. Can I just cut and paste all the content into the new folders on the SSD or do I have to go into install manager and reinstall everything item again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't put your main library on the C drive; I'd have a separate drive for that; I'd plan how you want to set up your content you have an opportunity to fix any issues you have.

I'd also have a another drive - mechanical, which is used for backups. :) I use all SSDs including for files and content; I only use mechanical for backups.

To answer your question, you could put your content in new folders, then point Studio and DIM to it, but it won't know what is already installed unless you have managed to salvage the data that provides that information.

Thanks Nicstt! That's basically what I was going to do. Everything is in My Product Library. I just wasn't sure how to tell DAZ Studio where it is: If I could just point to one folder on another drive or if I had to basicall go thourgh every item in the Install Manager and reinstall them to the other drive.
