How To Move Genshin Impact To Another Drive
To move Genshin Impact to a different folder or drive, you must first head to the game's installation location.
You can do that by launching the Genshin Impact Client, clicking on the 'three lines' on the 'Launch' button, and selecting the 'Installation Location' option.
- If you're looking to upgrade your gaming experience in Genshin Impact and other games, we recommend using a Razer Kishi mobile game controller .
Once that is done, copy the Genshin Impact files from the old drive to a new location and select the 'Use Another Folder' option in the Installation Location menu.
Locate the Genshin Impact folder that you pasted into the new drive and select it.
Doing so will let you play Genshin Impact from the newly selected game file location, which should be on the new drive.
Apart from that, you can also copy and paste the Genshin Impact game files to the new drive and edit the "config.ini" file found inside the game folder to set the new path under the "game_install_path=" code.
Lastly, you can also change the path of the game via Genshin Impact Client to the new drive, and when it starts downloading the game, pause the action, copy the Genshin Impact contents from the old drive, and paste it into the new one where the Genshin Impact folder was automatically created due to the download action.
