I have decided to install a SSD drive on my system and use the HD drive for daand want to put Elements on it.  I have already done it with LR but Elements 14 will not I I I have decided to install an SSD as my startup drive and move my HD to another position using it just for data.  I would like to put the Elements program on the SSD drive but the install will not let me change the drive path.  Any suggestions on how to do this?  I have already done this successfully with my LR program.

    You installed the operating system on the ssd, so have you tried disconnecting the other hard drive and then install pse 14 on the ssd.

    Did you use the 'cloning' utility provided by the SSD provider?

    That will create the problem if you don't take either of following prevention measures:

    - a full backup

    - or moving the catalog and library to an external drive before reusing the old drive.
