Going through it right now, just bite the bullet, uninstall all and reinstall choosing your new drive as the target (still weird that it forces you to <drive>:\Oculus but hey, progress) and things will work fine.

But after installing, you still can't choose what drive stuff from the store installs to.

So if you choose a HDD to install Oculus to but there are some things in the store you want on your SSD so they load faster, you can't do it because everything from the store gets installed to the HDD.

Hi. Good news. So now when we have an option to choose a drive where apps will be installed, we could get an option to add more installation directories from various disks. What if I want to have some games installed in SSD disk, and others in classic HDD? Why are we going with the same process like Steam and other clients?

And what about savegames in the Cloud? Other clients, like UPlay, have this feature since day1.

things will grow in the future.  in Steam that didn't exist from day 1 either.
it is a new product, so we do need to be patient a bit. (i know, that can be hard :wink: )

Is the performance of games the same when using a C drive in a SSD or other drive in hard drives? Any game is known for having any limitation on this?

Well, it's an improvement... I guess. But I had hoped we would be able to simply install new software from the store to a different drive after the automatic update. I mean, the feature of choosing an installation folder is about as basic as it can get, so I'm really wondering why this apparently is so hard to implement.

As well as following the instructions to backup and restore installed games/apps... like @cybereality said depending on how game/app developers have implemented things... you may wish to also backup and restore game saved state.

Things like Eve Valkyrire save the state on their own servers so it persists, but something like Farlands stores the state locally per user.  In which case, the saved game state MAY be in a directory like

C:\Users\your-user-name\AppData\Local\Oculus\canonical-name

So long as this is not deleted it should come back when you reinstall a game/app or if you follow the backup and restore method.  But you might want to copy this before updating to a new drive just in case.

That just doesn't do it for me.
