Method 2. How to Move Epic Games to Another Drive or PC Manually

If you don't want to use a third-party tool to change Fortnite install location, the following two manual methods also can be used to copy Fortnite to another place. However, the first one may fail by error, and the second one only suits to move Epic games to another drive.

Step 1. Uninstall and Reinstall with Epic Game Launcher (Between PC/Drive)

First, you'll need to create a backup copy of your Fortnite folder in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Fortnite by default. Copy and paste a copy of the Fortnite folder into another location. If you plan on moving Fortnite from one PC to another, you can copy the Fortnite folder into an external USB drive. Then, uninstall Fortnite with these steps:

  • Open the Epic Games Launcher application.
  • Go to "Library", click the settings gear on the Fortnite thumbnail, and select "Uninstall" and confirm.
  • Wait for the process to finish.

Step 2. Start and cancel the Fortnite installation

  • Go to the computer where you will copy Fortnite.
  • Open Epic Games Launcher application; install Fortnite from Store or Library.
  • Then, please choose the location and install it.

  • Cancel the installation after beginning, and close the launcher.

Step 3. Move your Fortnite backup to the new download location

  • Go to the new download location you've set, and paste the Fortnite backup folder. 
  • If the system prompts you for a file with the same name, please click "Replace the files in the destination".

Step 4. Resume Fortnite installation

Step 5. Verify Fortnite content

  • The Epic Games Launcher will scan the Fortnite directory, and find you already have the files, and skip downloading them.
  • Then, Epic Games Launcher will verify the content of Fortnite and check out whether there are corrupted files or not.  
  • If any problems are found, you need to re-download the game. If there are no problems after verifying, you can now play Fortnite.
