How to move games to another drive?

I own several EA games, but right now I only have three installed, F1 24, F1 25 and GRID Legends. I have F1 24 and GRID Legends on D:\Games and I would like to move them to C:\Program Files\EA Games without losing custom settings and progress. 

Is that possible, and how can I move them? I don't see any obvious method in the EA app, even when I click the Manage button in each.

I would just move the whole folders from one place to the other, then redirect it, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.

  • Hi def988c7ad6a5927​,

    Currently, the EA app does not support directly moving installed games between drives. If you want to change a game’s location, the process involves uninstalling it from the current drive and then reinstalling it to your desired location.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your reply. If I uninstall them and then install them to the new path, will they keep their settings and career progress?
