HDDs make a ton of sense for some use cases, as there's little meaningful performance. I think there should be away, it takes so much time to put it all together not to be able to move it. Also, by keeping the boot drive smaller (250-500GB range for Windows), full-drive backups take up less space. This is usually the physical hard disk that is located inside. Just as a pointer all the VSIX files should be stored in a VSIX folder that can be moved as well, to save developers time on rebuilding the whole download. A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies to store data persistently, typically using flash memory, and functioning as secondary storage in the hierarchy of computer storage.It is also sometimes called a solid-state device or a solid-state disk, even though SSDs lack the physical spinning disks and movable readwrite heads used in hard. The C drive is assigned to the first active primary hard drive partition recognized by the system. If VS is really self healing, it should be able to rebuild itself, cognitive should be able to handle fixing a few dll's, it would be more cost effective, save energy etc. It would sure be nice sense VS now has a self healing mode if we could move VS and log in and not get the error message of, your license has expired, when it clearly has not. The system settings set to future and not compatibility. Its brutal having to re-download every time the system crashes, I have had to reinstall every 2 months, I don't know whats happening in development with windows but do to the constant changes it seems that a lot of dll's are no longer compatible with having I tried the installing to another drive and yes the install eventually failed, I have tried other directories and they eventually failed as well. I agree Bob there should be a way to move any Visual Studio, I am sure it would save Microsoft bandwidth as well as us, it's a huge file and when you've been doing some work it gets bigger fast.
