How do I move Photoshop to another drive partition on the same PC?

[mr richard mk56171222]

Photoshop CC installed on my system drive partition which is now very full. How do I move it to another drive partition?

Do I need to de-activate it, uninstall it, and re-install it?

I don't remember seeing an option to select the installation location.

Richard,

By default, your Creative Cloud apps are installed in the Program Files folder (Windows) or the Applications folder (Mac OS).  You can change the default install location at installation time if you choose to, but it is not generally recommended. To do so, open the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app and click the gear icon at the top right of the window. Choose Preferences > Apps > Install location > Change. Navigate to the desired location and click Open. Your new install location will appear in the menu.

Note: The shared resources and temporary files  will still be stored on your primary drive.  If a lack of disk space is preventing installation then please verify you have sufficient space on the primary drive for the temp files and extracted installation files to be placed.

So if I change my app location and then update an app will it re-install a new copy in the new location, or does the app need to be removed from the old location first.

I have a very fast SSD I want to move the adobe apps to, to make performance more bearable, but I cannot use that drive for my C boot drive on my system.
