Download the launcher and put it on the hard drive you want to install to. You can select your install path/location before starting the download e.g. "D : \ The Elder Scrolls Online".

Yeah, very easy to move entire game to new disk.

What I did, first, was install my game to my larger drive due to immense installation, disk-space, requirements;

then later on, I wanted to see if I could change the "Install directory"
such that I would play off of a S.S.D. (solid state drive).

I copied the entire root folder off "The Elder Scrolls Online", and pasted it to said drive.

Then, i located
"..\The Elder Scrolls Online\Launcher\Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe "
double clicked that and according to "Task Manager" the data is being sought off of the desired S.S.D. drive.

I left out that the folder containing "The Elder Scrolls Online" root folder...
is on both drives within the folder "X:\Games\The Elder Scrolls Online"
; where x is the name of any disk in question.

Happy gaming.
I'll make sure to edit this post if the experiemnt implodes on me.

This work around no longer works (moving installer to another drive) so now I'm screwed.

*** hum.

edit : odd things that are censored here. Never mind... Anyway... editting to point out I'm being derpy... there is a tickbox to change the folder directory in the install dialog further in. Phew!

but if i installed a game to a disk E: (in my case, as C is for the system and it is full) can i be sure that the game uses a free space from disk E as well? There is no options to check it out.
as 3 days i can't login...
