Large problem with my DAZ Studio library

I recently upgraded my computer by adding an SSD dive as my C: drive. I Moved my former C: drive to F:
I thought I could just copy the former DAZ files from F: to C:, reinstall DAZZ Studio 4.11, which is what I was using, and go. After doing all that, I have no smart content, and my Content library tab only has partial transfers. On most characters, there is no "Figure" to load, only partial morphs and mats. On the few that have a figure, (a .duf to load the full figure), I get the error message "there is an error loading the file, see log file. "
The main problem is this. I have about 300 to 400 gigabytes or more of DAZ files from many purchased over the years. I am sure people will say just reinstall everything through DIM. I have Hughesnet, and get 30 GB a month. If I did not use the internet for anything else for 10 months, that is how long it would take to "reinstall." And I have to use the internet for other things. REINSTALL IS NOT AN OPTION.
All the original downloads and directories are still on the F: (former C:) drive. I haven't deleted anything. I obviously haven't moved some necessary files from some directory on F: I am not aware of what the files or directories might be. I have gone through all the user directories and anything that said DAZ I moved over to the C: in the same directory structure. I also found some DAZ subdirectories under program files and program files x86. Copied all those to same structure on new C:
I WOULD GLADLY PAY SOMEONE OFFLINE TO HELP ME SORT THIS OUT. Thanks for any help, as I have been working on this for a week and am no closer to a solution.

just point the program at the F drive.
Programs.... Daz Studio (look at Preferences>Content Manager and remap Content folders for Daz studio content and runtimes for Poser content), DIM (click on gear in upper right and remap to new drive)...
I've kept all my content on a separate drive for years... when I've had to replace it (for whatever reason)
I just assign the same drive ID to it .. my daz stuff is always on the G drive... daz hasn't cared whether it was the 200g way back when or the 2tb drive that holds the stuff now.
