    I use a android emulator called Bluestacks and it installed itself on my SSD drive where it's taking up file space. I'd like to move it to my other much bigger drive as I'm getting messages saying my file space on this drive is low but I'm not sure how exactly to go about it as I don't imagine it's as easy as copying the files to my other drive and then altering the program target location. Would I need to alter the registry files concerning this program as well?

    The ideal way would be to uninstall it, then install it to your bigger drive.

    I don't think Bluestacks will install on anything but C but the apps and data can be installed on a different drive. Some programs refuse to install on any drive but C.
