Hey @ra1mund0_cl you can change your game install directly by following the steps below:
- Copy your Origin Game Library folder to wherever you want it.
- The default location is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\”
- Set the Origin Game Library Location to the new location.
- In Origin open up Settings
- Select the “Installs & Saves” tab.
- Under “Game library location” select “Change folder…”
- Locate the new folder.
- Start a download for each game you’ve moved.
- In Origin open up “My Game Library”
- Find each game you’ve moved.
- Press “Download”
- Origin will skip downloading any files that are already there and update any that need to be updated.
- When Origin is done updating each game it will be ready to play.
