Hi Everyone, My question is related to migrating my entire collections of files to another harddisk. May I know what would be the correct way for this migration? I have spend quite a lot of time updating the artworks and the file names and I wish that after the migration, all these little configurations are also brought forward. Thank you! ---

Under Windows, the least problematic method is to copy your content first from the old to the new (bigger?) hard disk. While doing this, make sure all the folder names are exactly the same. When the copy is finished, shut down Plex Server. Then simply swap the drive letters of old and new drive. > **[How to Change a Drive's Letter in Windows](https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-change-a-drive-letter-2626069)** > > Here is how to change drive letters in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, or XP.
