Can I Move Blender to Another Drive
I want to move Blender and all my projects to an external SSD to enhance the performance and free up my disk space. Can I move Blender to another drive directly, including all the models and textures? Are there any settings I should modify after the migration? Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can move Blender to another drive directly without reinstallation.
Once you have downloaded Blender, you can move its installation folder to anywhere you want and launch it without reinstallation or an internet connection. However, you should pay attention to the user folder. This folder contains information about your personal data, like preferences and addons.
If you are worried about not being able to completely move Blender to another drive without losing any data and personal configuration, there's a reliable tool you can resort to - EaseUS Todo PCTrans Professional.
This application migration software offers an advanced feature that can detect relevant data of your target program and allows you to move them with your application to a new location.
Below are the instructions on completely moving Blender to another drive:
Step 1. Open EaseUS Todo PCTrans and navigate to "App Migration."
Step 2. Select the drive where Blender is installed, tick Blender, and then select the target drive.
Step 3. Then, click "Transfer" and patiently wait for it to transfer Blender and relevant data to the destination.
If you happen to be looking for a way to uninstall Blender, this tool also provides a powerful feature to remove it and its related data, allowing you to get rid of the program without leaving any remnants.
