The drive I have Logos installed on is getting full. I have another drive that has more than enough space on it. What do I need to do to move Logos from one drive to the other?

    First: only do this when the second drive is at least as fast as the existing one (don't ever put Logos from the small SSD onto the large spinning HDD, you will not be happy with that!)

    A reinstall would be the most comfortable and easy option (i.e. uninstall, making sure the folder structure of Logos is completely deleted and then installing with choosing the custom location on the other drive). This will include a complete download and indexing of your Logos library, which can be time-consuming.

    There are ways of avoiding download and indexing, but they get tricky in your situation - basically you could copy your Logos library and index files onto a separate place, then do the reinstall with the "minimal" option and put the library and index files into the new location.

    EDIT: if you are using Personal Books, make sure you have them uploaded, otherwise you may need to rebuild all of them f you go the unistall/full-new-install route

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile
