Hard Drive getting full? Can I move installed programs to another drive? Want to move programs to another drive? Can you move programs from C drive to D? How do I free up space on my C drive? How to install apps on a separate drive on Windows 10? well its pretty easy and it can be done with a simple bit of software. So how does it work? it moves program folder to another drive of your choice and creates a symbolic link. This method allows you to free up space on a full drive, games take a lot of space up and with this method, it lets you move them.

That is a really cool way to take complete control of your storage. Well presented and timely. Thanks Brian for another great video.
Using multiple symbolic links, it is possible to move any or all folders from the C drive to any other drive and still have the computer function normally. If the C drive is an SSD or the fastest drive, moving files used often by the OS might degrade RW speed. I am just throwing this question out to BRITEC or other experts. Thks for the great video.
If you run out of space for programs, the best step is to remove unused programs. If still need space, just clone the C drive to a higher capacity drive. Drives are cheap. Symbolic links have their uses, but not to redirect programs. I use symbolic links sparingly because they usually break whenever there is some updates to the programs. Moreover, you have to document the links adequately to know what is linked to what. In short, the less you use symbolic links, the better. It’s meant as an option of last resort.
Could you clone C drive to an external SSD then remove unwanted programs on C and copy the SSD onto your D drive?
How do you clone the c drive into another drive
Worked!! And before you start seeing other videos about partitioning or installing SSD cards are doing stuff like that, try this method first it! worked for me!
where is the link bro?
Fun fact, the majority of Windows programs can be moved somewhere else, without using any utility and they will still work.
I run the majority of the software I use from a d:\programs folder that I keep carrying over the years.
I've Got a 15gb Games folder, now i know where to put It and how to do it.
Thanks Britec09
I just moved nothing less than Adobe Premiere from C: to D: drive. Thank you !
Does it work though?
Did it work?
it didn't works for me
This video was requested by a number of people, downloads can be got here www.briteccomputers.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=5097
(don't forget to add the link to the software in the video description!) Thanks Brian!

What a handy little program. Great upload Britec as usual. Hope you had a great Christmas.
Thanks, you to
And i am watching your videos last three years but commenting fist time because earlier was not able to write comments in English...
Thanks for watching
and does it remain installed in uninstall programs in control panel even after a new windows installation or the installation is gone completely after the windows installation? And does it also work on software like Microsoft Visual C++ and .Net framework or just software installed on windows like Chrome, Games and other 3rd party ones?
the link is not in the description
I followed your video, but it keeps running into an error and sending the programs back 🤷🏻
Thank you Brian!! As always!! very helpful and to the point.🤞🤞
Where's the software he used?
No link to software in video as promised. :(
Mmm....you got me......can’t find the link to the mentioned program in your comments section.....???
Cheers
Where is the link in the description I really wanted to use this T-T
@Ripley Reaper It's been three months, hopefully he did lol
@Ripley Reaper wtf is that
There's no link, however I searched it up it anyway. If you say that there will be a link in the description, make sure it's in the description next time.
You just keep on helping us. So kind!
You're welcome
Here's another thought. If you have the means to do it, just install your programs onto the alternate drive when you install them. Then you won't have to do this either.
This is true. After I implement this solution, I'm going to make sure I install all new programs to the other internal drive, which leaves only windows program files on the system drive
i don't see any links to download this program.please help
why microsoft didnt yet inorporate this into windows 10 escapes me completely,they update win10 with mostly unuseful gadgets wich normal people will never use
a auto symbolic link in the right click menu would be great,you already can re-locate the desktop,music,pictures,etc folders onto another drive,so why not incorporate this for programs aswell,i guess they like to incorporate more things for VR and voice assist,things i will never use,unless,if voice assist will someday be internet un-dependent
Because they know, from experience, that a future update COULD cause data loss in that exact situation ( as it HAS happened before...albeit for a few users, but still). Beyond that, I don't blame ya for the item request.
@Bernard Bout thanx for that bernard,didnt know that
Hi Brian, great video and just what I needed. SymMover great tool. Have emailed you some questions as not sure about what files can be moved and what files/folders can't be moved. Have moved some and gained a little space and tried some others but wouldn't move and got error messages don't have permission etc. Always watching your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you.
Would be nice if you still had the link to the software available.
Has the link for the program gone.
Do not try this, my programs and files all got lost and I can not use most of them nor uninstall
Thank you for this good tip but you did not prove it works after moving the applications by starting one of the moved apps.
Yes! I was screaming at the screen: No! Show that it works!!
It works, its just a symbolic link
@@Britec09 Thank you I have been looking for something to do exactly this. when moved to a new destination will 1. everything moves ie folders forms relating to the product.2. will the old destination be wiped clean
@@Britec09 There is no link in the description...
what the fuck is the link
As always wonderful info thanks
Thank you, sir!!! Great information!!!
You're welcome
Can you do a series of tutorials on containerization? Containers are much better an option to move programs around because of their self-contained dependencies.
Very good video. just what I needed to know, you help a lot. Thank you.
where is the link of programm
Top of the comments section
@@Britec09 I don't see it anywhere above comments even after showing more.
@@Britec09 He's right, Bri. I can't find the link to Setup1510/SymMover either.
Orange Management Corporation yep
@@Britec09 Just put it in the description.
You always make something better for us really you are great and great knowledge of about computer you are computer master...
Thanks for the kind words
ahhhhh the clickfarms chiming in 😎
sorry sir, but you forgot to provide a link.
thanks so much i liked and subscribed :)
Did not work for my Asus Vivobook E200HA. Program kept saying add a new destination folder first. I did, still --- same message
I liked the program, but the destination folder is so long but okay.
Useful, when upgrading or installing another ssd or harddrive to the computer!!
can you link the program
nice video. but u really sound like the Korg from Thor Ragnarok :D
Thanku brian,brilliant video again sir.thanku.
I have question, after moving the folder, does the program still work or mapped? Or do you need to move back to source?
I cannot believe all the hassle I have with my windows laptop having to constantly clean up C drive or move stuff- I had a macbook for years and had none of this hassle.
no link
This helped so much thank you
Very useful, not something I'd thought about. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Have tried using all sorts of PC Mover type programs to no avail...
where is the link to the software you used? I couldn't find it in the description box
google it. he didnt put it
Hi there, it was very useful and interesting video tutorial. Thnx
Thank you, but why isn't this built in to Windows? In File Explorer there is a "Move To" button that should work just like this.
Actually it's been in Windows since 7 I believe. But it's all command line work, which can be very confusing. This handy program does that work graphically for you and is straightorward
Hi. Just came across this video however the link is missing from the description.
Hi Brian. Thanks for your tips and tricks. But is your suggestion valid too for huge programs such as Adobe Creative Cloud components or even Office 365? Thanks in advance for your support. Kind regards.
Thank you!
Great video thanks Bryan.
Thanks
Should the programms be installed in the destination hdd ?
Btw i Finally Have a 10 TB Drive, and I Really wanted to Move All my Sources into this as my main, and U sir, Thx for the Video, Makes it Easier without having to Reinstall all the Programs Lol
Thank you
Try to move Google Chrome from my C drive to a destination J Dr which is a partition on my C drive, did not work and deleted Google Chrome
*Hi Bri-tec* may i ask something please?. I have a new computer with a system installed onto m.2... if i wanted to replace that with a faster m.2 drive, do i clone the system onto an external m.2 caddy and then just physically replace it with the new one? OR is there more to it please? which free software would you recommend please?. Youve videos of how to clone helped me update my old computer to an sdd, so thank you for that :)
Hope youve had a great christmas, blessings on your year ahead. I appreciate your videos. All the best bro, kieron
Macrium reflect is free and yes you can do it that way
@@Britec09 Thanks for the reply, yeay great stuff. Will give that a go. My new laptop i worked out is x28 times faster than my old one as it is haha. Getting into editing. Cheers bro
@@DiyEcoProjects You're welcome
no link???
I doubt those two programs portrayed in the video will work for what I need. I would like to change the drive which Windows OS runs from. My computer by manufacturer design will only boot from my SCSI drive or my IDE drive, but I want to run the Windows OS off my SATA drive to increase its speed. I can use Robocopy to copy the programs and data over to the SATA drive and they run OK. But I cannot get the OS to work after copying it over. Is there any program that will do that? I have tried every reasonable option/flag of Robocopy. Bear in mind I cannot install Windows to any drive other than my SCSI or IDE drive. That is a motherboard limitation.
What effect would ransom ware have on the moved programs? Can the "saved files" be transferred to the other drive and be safe from random ware?
The folder is just on a different drive, afaik ransomware encrypts everything it can encrypt.
is there a program out there that can grab a program off of one computer and make an install.exe to install it on another
debeeriz definitely not.
I realize this is a year late, but I'm just coming across this thread now. There was a program called Wise Installer (a competitor to InstallShield) which is now discontinued. Perhaps you can find a copy somewhere. Wise Installer had a feature called "Setup Capture". Basically, it worked by taking an image of your computer's registry and folder structure BEFORE you installed software on your computer. After the installation was complete, it would take a second image. It would then work out the differences between the "before" and "after" image, and package those into an installation file. So, this gave you an effective means of transferring an installed program onto a different system. Now, if the program being transferred has some built-in "phone home" protection to check for duplicate license issues, etc., you would not be able to use the new version without removing the original version, but that's a feature of the software you copied - not a failure of the installation program.
There are also programs like Revo Uninstaller that have the ability to "hunt down" hidden associations that allows for a complete uninstallation of software - a cleansing that goes beyond the target application program's built-in "uninstall" capability. There may be someone who has used that "hunter" technology to create an installer package that does what you want.
This made me smile...🙌🙌👌😁
Can I with fresh copy of windows 10 can I not have installed Onedrive and Powershell .
idk why this isn't just built into windows by default
thanks for the help
Will this move MS Office to a different computer?
Why I'm I getting Korg vibes
The Program Name is : SymMover
where is the link?
What kind of external drive was your E drive?
Please if you can provide me the link to download the SymMover
You don't need an application to do that. (except File Explorer)
gotta get views and sell bloatware somehow
It works! thanks!
WOW, Ben!!! This is SO great for my needs!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! ✨🤗✨
wheres the link
Real neat program, Posted on Facebook, Bye for now Cheers
Thanks
Always keep your drive C partition only with OS and programs, no games, no data, no downloads. Make other partitions such as Installdisk1 with programs and drivers, and swap file, datadisk1 for all your data and large outlook .pst files, music files, video files, a partition for Games, a partition for Downloads, a Partition for Backup1. Get a second hard disk same size or bigger and do the same there but put instead of number 1 you put 2 behind the partitions. Make sure your first HDD is Drive 0 on the Sata ports. The other Drive 1 and then copy everything from the first drive to the second drive except Drive C, to backup drive C you download an image creator program and you back this up in Backup1 and in the second drive Backup 2
Then you take a External drive and back up all that is on drive 1 creating different folders like the partitions and back it up there. Whether manually or with a backup program. And if you want to be super sure, you get a NAS drive with at least 4 or 5 drives set up RAID 1 or RAID 5 or RAID 6 or RAID 10 and back it up there as well or simply a second external drive. In this way you protect yourself from disasters and loss of precious data.
Yes you get many drive letters but if a partition is too small you use a partition manager to resize your partitions if or when needed.
Many laugh about my elaborate partition set up but if you have only money for a couple of good drives, this is the cheapest way to safeguard the best preservation of your Data and programs. I do this for over 15 years and over now. So you can trust me I vouch for it that it works and is safe.
There is no bigger frustration than losing your entire collection of stuff you have gathered your entire life only to loose it because you don't want to back up every other day or week.
and if you want to get a third party backup involved you can back them up on the Cloud too. I cannot stress this enough. I have seen too many screwfaces when they loose their entire life data because computers can go wrong and drives have limited lifespan.
Hi Brian, thanks for this brilliant help. Presumably the drive where a link for a program came from, needs to be retained eg in C:\ post finalising, or after finalising can it be deleted, please?
Great Program and explanation!!.. is there any way to copy installation file and let it install on another system?
Hi, what do you mean by "symbolic" please? Please advise if this program will work between PCs? I look forward to your reply. Thanks and Regards J
This would be handy if one uses iTunes to backup your iOS devices since iTunes by defaults sticks the backups under AppData folder. I have used the command line symlink command to create a symbolic link to another partition to free up space on C:. Am I blind or is the link for the software mentioned for symlink missing in the description above?
Links are at top on the comments
@@Britec09 Problem is that I do not see your comment at the top of the comments. I see my comment at the top of the list followed by cjroofer's followed by VelcoityRexProductions then Kevin Colvin's etc. You are seeing the comment with the link at the top because it is your own post. The same way I see my comments at the top. However when other users view the comments your post is somewhere further down.
@@Britec09 Bri... These guys are right. There is no link to getting Setup1510/SymMover. The only link brings you back to this video.
Pretty nice! Thank you for that. I wonder if I could use that to copy programs to a Ram Drive.
So amazing thank you
Where is the download link ?
I want to keep the app on both drives. Can this be used to duplicate (clone) apps? Thank you
Cloning a drive will be in exact copy on the source drive and destination drive. So cloning is your option that you need
A layman question - so bare with me. My older PC runs on Windows 7. I have new PC that runs on Windows 10. The new one has NVME M2 SSD as a main boot drive in it. In my older PC there are some apps / programs that I would like to install in my new PC. Can I clone these programs on a SSD SATA 2,5 drive (inside an enclosure or USB SATA cable) or a M2 NVME, later install it inside the new PC. Will these programs from the Windows 7 work in the new PC with Windows 10?
for some reason using Traynier's Steam mover after files are moved on the other drive I get an error message saying: 'Error running "cmd /C mklink /J "source folder" "destination folder" ". ErrorLevel=1'.
Tried that program it doesn't work. It keep coming up failed.
Hey I don't mind reinstall as long as it keeps the same settings do you have a video for that?
Great Tool, but doesn't take programs from OLD drive to New Drive. Need to take programs I was running before adding new drive, over to new drive. I guess I'll have to use command prompt robocopy method 🙄
Fantasitic program
Thanks for sharing :-)
Thanks but it didn't work for me on windows 11. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall onto the new drive I want it on.
I cant move my adobe collection? wtf
Can you transfer programs from one pc to another pc using symmover?
well done thanks
I know it's almost 3 years later. But I have a question, does this also work if you have windows 10 on the ssd and the second ssd has windows 11
Thanks
