I've got CC3 and iClone 7 on my C drive currently but just bought a new SSD and want to put all of my 3D apps in one place (Blender, CC3, iClone 7, Daz Studio, DaVinci, Unity). I don't want to move my OS over so I don't know if cloning is the correct option for me. Everything I've found in a Google search is either outdated or involves using a 3rd party app and I have trust issues with those (the one I tried instantly displayed a pop-up ad on my desktop). I was hoping this would be a simple drag and drop operation but apparently that's not the case. Does anyone know of a tutorial or trustworthy app I can use to make this happen?

You can't just move programs from one place to another, doesn't matter if it's to a new folder or a new drive. There is just so much information stored, and accessed, in the Windows registry to make that a task just pitted with an unbelievable potential for disaster. It is really much easier and safer to simply uninstall and reinstall your software in a new location if doing a simple clone is not an option.

Thanks... I was worried that this might be the case. Is there a downside to cloning? This all started because I was running low on disk space so could I just clone my C drive to the new SSD and then delete or uninstall the programs from my C drive? If not... then I suppose uninstall and reinstall is about the only option.
