As you probably already know, when you attempt to move program installations or system folders from a disk or one drive partition to another using the classic methods, you can harm the integrity and functionality of these applications or even of the whole system. This happens because Windows can’t update all the needed location data once a system folder or installation is moved and it often considers the old location to be the right one, even if it’s not.

SymMover solves this problem by creating a symbolic link between the original location and the new one, which ensures that the software and games that were moved can still be run without any problems. Anyway, in order to do so, you have to move those installations using SymMover. This is simple: just add any installed application or any folder to the “source” panel of SymMover’s interface, select the destination and press the “Move” button. As you can see, there’s nothing complicated about using this app. The program comes with a very neat and intuitive interface that makes it easy to move folders and installations back and forth between various destinations.

This handy application also displays the free disk space on your drives in real time. That helps you better understand how moving folders and installation affect the disk space.

In conclusion, SymMover is a great tool that makes it easy to move a system folder or installation from one disk to another without messing it up.
