Reinstalling DIM on new drive but keeping content

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I will be swapping out my C drive where DIM is installed (Going from a HDD to a SSD).
The content is installed elsewhere on a different drive, so that will not be touched.
So when I re-install DIM to the new C drive, will DIM handle it well and recognize my installed content when I point the right path in the DIM installation tab?

    As long as you still have the manifests folder, and point DIM to it if it's not in the default location.

    Thanks Richard! Do you mean I should make a backup of the manifest folder and move it to the new drive in order for DIM to be able to find the files?

    You can change the Manifests folder in DIM Settings (gear in upper right) > Basic Settings, or just make sure you copy the folder to the new drive.

    Okay, I'll make sure to keep a copy aside of the manifest. Thanks Fixmypcmike!
