How do I move Diablo III to another drive/computer without downloading it again?

One of the biggest challenges for most gamers, especially professionals, is keeping their game drivers up to date and optimizing their computer's performance.

With so many great PC games being released, some gamers might want to upgrade their game drivers or even move their installed games to an SSD or another new computer for a performance boost.

Can I copy Diablo III to another drive or computer? NO!

For the security of your personal data and the integrity of your game files, we do not recommend manually copying or 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 in a single executable file that could be copied and installed on another drive or machine at will, modern games consist of many files that are stored in a specific configuration.

Unlike some older .exe games, newer titles like Diablo 3 and WoW require you to redownload the entire game if you want to play on a different hard drive or computer.

2.手动复制游戏可能会导致游戏文件残留。

Many of the newer games have installer files, local game folders, and sometimes even installers that don't save to the same drive or location.

Unlike power users who know their machines inside out, ordinary users might not even know where a game is installed – meaning that you may not be able to find and move all of its files to another drive.

As such, you might have leftover game files, and you might not even be able to run the game on a new drive or PC.

Utilize a data transfer software for assistance.

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

The process is straightforward for users of any level. You simply need to make sure that your new drive, such as the SSD, is detected and mounted on your computer.

In the left panel, select the drive where the game is installed. Next, find the game you want to transfer and check the box next to it. Since you intend to move the selected game to the SSD, click the triangle icon to set the SSD as the target location. Finally, click "Transfer."

Step 3: Begin the transfer process

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