Moving Age of Empires Online Game to another partition from System Partition


How to Install Age of Empires Online  NFS World to Drive other than System Partition

Age of Empires Online game files (patch files) are downloaded to users AppData folder. That is “C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Age of Empires Online” to be exact. But if you don’t have enough space o C drive you can move them to another partition where you have enough space. (About 5 GB of disk space)
You can use Symbolic link to do this. Follow the instructions below.

  • If you already run the launcher,
  1. Move the "Age of Empires Online" folder in "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft" to a drive you have enough space. (Cut and Paste)
  2. Run the command prompt as Administrator
  3. Create a symbolic link to the folder you created just now in "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft"
  4. This is syntax - mklink  /d "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Age of Empires Online" "F:\Age of Empires Online"
