Moving games to a different drive

Just got a new SSHD installed, and was wondering how to move my games from my HDD to the new SSHD. Thanks.

    Make a copy of the game folder:

    How to install a Origin game using a backup, Battlefield 1 used as an example.

    1. Save your BF1 backup from “Origin Games\Battlefield 1” somewhere else
    2. Uninstall BF1 in Origin
    3. Make sure you have the new correct installation directory selected in Origin’s settings
    4. Start the BF1 download in the new directory for 2 minutes
    5. Exit Origin
    6. Copy over the backup, overwriting all files
    7. Start Origin again
    8. Look at Origin verifying the files, setting up the changes in the registry and downloading the last files
