jaguara5 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I have now the 2.5.2 beta version installed on my 500 gb HDD, that has only 27GB free space. I 'm planning to buy a new 500 GB SSD exclusively for DCS and i want both the beta and the stable version to be installed there (Windows 10 will remain on the old HDD). Which is the most convenient way to do the transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaguara5 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi you can cut and paste the whole DCS folder, but you will have to update any shortcuts manually Thanks! So copy and paste the current folder into the SSD, rename the shortcut, and after that installing the stable version? Will the program detect the SSD beta version without registry modifications (which I have no idea how to do), so I don't have to download from scratch the whole file, and will the downloaded beta files be copied to the stable version in future updates? And when exactly should I delete the old HDD version, or it doesn't matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansangb Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I cut and pasted to a new drive and then upgraded w/ zero issues. You can delete it anytime you want after making sure DCS fires up. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 My only tip in addition: Use SakteZilla's DCS Updater Tool, it's just SOOO MUCH EASIER ! look it up in google or in here, dont have the link at hand. Basically, you point it to the install folder(s) of your install(s) and have all option ready to click, Update, Repair, Clean, VR ON, VR OFF.....all you need, nice & easy.

jaguara5 Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 2.5.2 is running now on the SSD. I'm trying to install the stable version, but the updater doesn't detect the installed beta version to transfer some files, but is downloading all the stable version files from scratch. Any ideas?

BitMaster Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It only copies from other installs if the reg.keys are properly set/repaired if you just copied the folders and havent installed it the usual way. If that is true, you gotta DL it all.
