Moving Kontakt 8 to another drive

[Examigan]

I have a basic question as I am rather new to Kontakt. Is there an easy way to move it all over to my secondary drive, or do I just have to uninstall it and reinstall to the other drive in my PC?

My C drive is a small SSD and I'd rather not have it installed there.

I figured I'd ask, since I know Steinberg has a Library manager that makes moves like that easy. I thought maybe NI had something like that, or a trick way to get that done.

Do you want to move Kontakt or the libraries?

I wouldn't recommend moving the plugin and app unless you like managing symlinks/junction points. With the libraries, you move the their folders and then point Native Access at them afterwards. And if they're not Player libraries, just move the folder where you like and use the file manager to open them.

I could probably just move the libraries. I’ll try what that support link mentions.

Thanks!

One other thing. It's worth changing the default in NA's settings to point to the folder on the other drive if you're going to store them all on that one drive. In principle, this will help it find everything once moved rather than having to repair each library one by one and will install any future libraries there automatically.

In principle. I'm not sure it always works.

I just moved the libraries to a new bigger drive. Think I had to change the path location in native access so updates go to the same new drive. No problems so far.
