Questions re moving steam and dayz

[chili1496 10]

Currntly steam and dayz are installed on my secondary mechanical hard drive, windows etc are installed on the primary ssd drive, I've had a spare ssd sitting on my desk for ages and finally today i fitted it and now am thinking dayz and steam would be better on the ssd than the mechanical drive.

 

My question's are if i remove steam and dayz then reinstall them will i loose my current characters/players and have to start a fresh or will my characters be safe?

 

thanks

All personal files of a game and settings are in the DayZ folder on the way -
C:\Users\Имя\Documents\DayZ. Their location does not change, and does not depend on that from where there is a start of a game. But, just in case, I always have the copy of this folder in the safe section of a disk, for reserve restoration.

It is not obligatory to transfer Steam to a new disk, it is possible to transfer only files of a game to a new disk.
You can use the Steam tool for transfer of files of a game on other disk or in other folder in two steps.
1. To add the new folder to Steam library:
- Steam> settings> loadings> folders of Steam library> to create the new folder on a new disk.
2. To replace the folder of installation of a game:
Steam > click at the game the right mouse button > properties> local files > to replace the folder of installation > to choose the folder created in the 1st stage. To wait for the end of process of transfer of files of a game in Steam.
