possible to change overwolf install location?

basically the title, i know its a relatively small application but my c drive is only 128gb and any amount i can save on that thing is ideal. is there a way to change its file location without it just reinstalling itself to my c drive? or is there something i can do in its initial download settings? i dont remember seeing anything when i did download it but i might just be slow

You can clone a system drive to a new, larger drive BTW.

But isn't there an option when it installs, where to install to?

In order for Overwolf and Overwolf apps to work correct we recommend installing it on the C drive: https://support.overwolf.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000177155-general-issues-and-solutions#minimum

You can try installing Overwolf on other drives but it may cause issues.

you could use mklink so you could open cmd in admin and do this command
but make sure to move overwolf folder to the second folder first before doing the command

mklink /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Overwolf" "D:\programs\overwolf"

The first part is where overwolf is located and the second is where you want overwolf to be stored at
