Ever found yourself wondering how to shift Genshin Impact to a different drive on your computer? Let’s get right to answering that very question, with a sprinkle of fun tossed in for good measure.

So, you want to move Genshin Impact, that expansive, action-packed game from miHoYo, to a new spot on your PC? You’re in the right place!

Quick Guide to Moving Genshin Impact

The process is straightforward but requires a few steps. First off, the game’s size might make this a bit time-consuming, but fear not, it’s far from complicated!

Begin by locating the Genshin Impact installation folder on your current drive. You’ll typically find this in the ‘Program Files’ folder unless you chose a custom location during installation. Once located, simply cut and paste the entire folder to your desired drive. Remember, you’re moving a whole universe here, so give it a moment.

Ensuring the Game Runs Smoothly Post-Move

After transferring Genshin Impact, you might need to guide your computer in recognizing the game’s new home. This involves updating shortcuts and possibly adding a new game path in the launcher settings, ensuring that when you’re ready to dive back in, everything operates as smoothly as before.

Lastly, it’s a good idea to run the game once after the move, just to make sure all game data properly loads and the game functions continue seamlessly. This step is like telling your character, “Hey, we’ve moved. Time to explore new grounds!”
