    Small SSD harddrive, need to move WoW to external

    Windows 10 and im a huge noob with stuff like this. Is there any simple way to move the WoW folder to my 2nd harddrive (not an ssd) without messing up the install? I have very very bad internet and do not want to go through another 80+ gigabyte download. Thanks!

    edit: I didnt mean external. I know thats what I typed but its physically in my pc, not one of the ones you can carry around n shit

    Just move the files over, and then set your battle.net launcher to find wow in the new location.
