I want to move my Origin client onto an other winchester to free up space (1,11 GB free from the total 111, jeez ), including my games (Spore and a few other non-Origin game). I tried moving the folders ("Origin" and "Origin Games"), but when I started up the client, it said Origin is not installed, so I put it back to its original place (the "Program Files (×86)" folder). I tried putting back the "Origin Games" folder too, but there's no disk space for it anymore. So, how can I move the client to the bigger disk without any loss? :/
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey @SajtosKifli117, as @yahel_1 posted you can move your games to a new hard drive relatively easily if you follow the steps below:
You can find more info here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/backing-up-and-restoring-your-origin-games/
You can also change the default install location so that going forward your downloads will be saved to the new folder:
Any questions just shoot.

Try these steps https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/Origin-Moving-Games-to-Another-Hard-Drive-or-S... and you should be fine mate.
If you have any problem after following the steps above, try clearing your platform’s cache https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/ then restart your machine and check.
My Opinion is no more important or right than yours.I'm a gamer like you, trying to help you (i'm not an EA employee).
If you want to know us or/and come up with ideas to improve the Origin platform or/and talk about anything and many more besides,you could also visit the NEW section Origin General Discussion http://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/origin-general-discussion-en
