How can I move Diablo III to another drive/PC without redownloading it

One of the biggest challenges for most gamers, especially pros, is keeping their drivers up to date to maintain optimal computer speed.

With so many great PC games out there, you might want to update your game drivers or even move an installed game to an SSD or a new computer to speed things up.

Can I copy a game like Diablo III to another drive or computer? No!

For the security of your personal data and the integrity of your game saves, we don't recommend manually copying and moving an installed game (such as Diablo III) to a new hard drive or computer. There are two main reasons why we don't support this:

1. The latest game does not support copy-paste installation.

Unlike early personal-computer games, which came as a single executable file that could be copied and installed on another drive or computer at will, modern games consist of many files and require elaborate installation procedures.

Unlike some older .exe-based games, newer titles like Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft must be completely re-downloaded if you move them to a new hard drive or computer.

2. Manually copying the game may lead to residual game files.

The majority of newer games have an installer, a local game folder, and sometimes even an installer that doesn't save everything in the same drive or location.

Unlike a computer-savvy gamer who knows where a game is installed and can find all its files to move them to another drive, the average person is lost.

This can leave game files behind, which can prevent the game from running on a new hard drive or computer.

Two Ways to Move Diablo III to Another Drive or New Computer

Now, you'll need to specify where you want to move the game – the new drive or another PC. The Todo PCTrans tool will then guide you through the process of transferring the game without having to redownload it.

# 1. Moving Diablo III to Another Drive (e.g., SSD)

To move the game to another drive, you need to use the Application Migration feature in Todo PCTrans.

The process is simple enough for users of any level. You just need to make sure that your new drive – the SSD, in this case – is recognized and accessible by your computer.

You can move Diablo III and other games to a new drive yourself by following along with a video tutorial or the step-by-step guide below:

Step 1: Run the Todo PCTrans tool to get started.

Run the Todo PCTrans tool on your Windows 10/8.1/8/7 computer. Navigate to the "App Migration" transfer mode, and then click "Start".

Step 2: Choose the game you want to transfer.

On the left pane, select the drive where the game is installed. Then, find the game you want to transfer and check the box next to it. Since you're planning to move the selected game to the SSD, click the triangle icon to set the SSD as the destination. Finally, click "Migrate."

Step 3: Begin the Transition

The tool immediately starts moving the game from the hard drive to the SSD. Wait for the process to complete.

# 2. Moving Diablo III to Another Computer

For those upgrading to a new gaming rig, the PC-to-PC transfer feature in Todo PCTrans can be a big help.

Make sure both computers are on the same network, connected to the same local area network (LAN) or Wi-Fi.

You can now follow the video tutorial or the step-by-step guide below to move your favorite games to the new computer:

Step 1: Run Todo PCTrans on Both Computers

Download the tool Todo PCTrans, and you'll see the PC-to-PC interface.

Step 2: Choose the transfer direction - From the old computer or to the new one

"This is a new computer" - Transfer all data from the old computer to the new one remotely.

"This is the old computer" - Transfer all data from the current old device to the new one.

Select transfer direction

Step 3: Connect the two computers

1. Select the IP address or device name of the target PC, then click Connect.

2. Type the target computer's login password, then click OK to confirm.

If the target computer is not listed, you can click Add Computer to manually connect to it by entering its IP address or device name.

Step 4: Select apps, programs, and software to transfer to the target computer

1. You can select and transfer the desired content from your current computer to the target computer.

2. After selecting the apps and data you want to transfer, click on “Transfer” to start the process.

Remember to restart your current or new computer after moving the game to apply all changes.
