Move Office/Outlook or Other Programs to New HDD/SSD
How to move Office/Outlook or other programs to new HDD/SSD?
To free up space on your primary drive and improve computer performance, you can move installed programs, such as Office or Outlook, to a new HDD or SSD. This process is called "disk space optimization." To do this, follow these steps:
If you're planning to move files and installation data to a new HDD/SSD, some office files like Word, Excel, or PowerPoint may work, but applications like Outlook may not boot properly due to improper installation. To thoroughly move installation files of Office/Outlook or other apps to the new HDD/SSD without reinstallation, you can use Qiling Disk Master, a professional program transfer software that makes the process simple and easy.

Move Office/Outlook or other programs to new HDD/SSD
After downloading and installing Qiling Disk Master on your computer, you'll need to purchase a serial key to activate it, and then you can transfer as much data as needed to a new HDD/SSD.
Step 1. Connect new SSD or HDD to your PC and Run Qiling Disk Master
1. Connect the new SSD or HDD to your computer and initialize it to make the drive accessible. The computer will automatically detect the new drive, and you may be prompted to initialize it through the BIOS or UEFI settings.
2. On the main screen of Qiling Disk Master, click "Backup and recovery" and then click "File sync" to proceed.
Step 2. Select apps, programs on the source disk and select SSD or HDD as target disk to transfer
1. On the source partition where you installed apps, select the desired programs (marked as "Yes") that you'd like to transfer to your SSD or HDD.
2. Select the new SSD or HDD as the destination by clicking the browse icon, then click "Proceed" to move the selected programs.
Step 3. Wait for the transferring process to finish
When the process finishes, click "OK" to complete.
Then you can restart your PC to keep all the changes and you can run the transferred program on your new SSD or HDD again.
Don't worry about the booting issues after the move, as all installation files will be moved together with the software or application you're trying to move, allowing you to launch Outlook or reuse your Office after following the above steps.
