    Moving install folder to new drive problems on Steam:

    d like to move the CloD install to another drive (C from where it currently is in E: drive through the Steam utility ( I have used this before,) but am unable to do so. I get this screen when I try . I can't figure out why it gives me no other options. Can someione explain what I'm missing. Appeals to Steam got me here to ask the question.

    Don't know if it's related.
    Did you added location in Storage Manager ?

    Go to Settings/Downloads/Steam Library Folders
    Maybe adding the location on E driver ?

    Hope that help

    I figured it out:you have to uninstall ( & save) previous install then it allows you to move the new install wherever you want.I was hoping that moving it to the C: drive would eliminate some of the now frequent CTD's and Freezes but so far no luck...

    Actually all you had to do was install any other game you had onto C: and that install sets up the basic Steam folder structure. Once that was set up for another game, you could have just moved CloD.
