How to Move League of Legends to Another Drive Using a Game Migration Tool: 1. **Download and Install the Game Migration Tool:** First, you'll need to download an application called "Game Migration Tool." You can acquire this tool from the official source or a trusted third-party provider. Make sure you choose the version compatible with your operating system (Windows or Mac). 2. **Run the Game Migration Tool:** After installation, double-click the application icon to launch the game migration tool. You may be prompted to run it with administrator privileges. 3. **Select the Game to Migrate:** In the program interface, you should see a list of games. Locate "League of Legends," and check the box next to it. 4. **Choose the Target Drive:** Click on "Change Location" or a similar option, then browse for the new location where you want to move League of Legends in the file explorer window that appears. Ensure you have enough space on the target drive to accommodate the game. 5. **Initiate the Migration Process:** Once everything is set, click "Migrate" or "Start" to begin copying the game files to the new drive. 6. **Wait for the Migration to Complete:** This process may take some time, depending on your hard drive speed and the size of the game files. Be patient and avoid interrupting the migration. 7. **Verify the Game's Functionality:** After the migration is finished, launch League of Legends to check if it runs normally. If everything works as expected, you can now play League of Legends on the new drive. 8. **Delete the Old Installation Files (optional):** If the game runs smoothly, you can safely delete the old League of Legends folder from the original drive to free up disk space.
