How to Move Valorant Install Location
Moving Valorant to a new spot on your drive ain't too complex, but brace yourself for some steps. First up, you’ve gotta completely shut Valorant and its Riot client down; make sure they're not running in the background. Next, head over to where Valorant's installed and copy the whole Valorant folder. Now, sprint to where you wanna paste it, maybe a swanky new SSD for those sweet, sweet load times. Once it’s there, you gotta dive back into the original Riot Client folder, find the 'RiotClientInstalls.json' file, and tweak the Valorant path to its new home. If you get a 'where the heck did Valorant go?' message from Riot Client, point it to the new location. Voila, done!

Be careful. Moving games like Valorant can mess with updates or cause errors. Always have a backup before you start shuffling files around!
Just drag and drop the Valorant folder to the new location. If it throws a fit, reinstall. Sometimes it's just easier.
