    Move NT8 onto D drive

    How can I move the NT8 installation (exe and all code/database files) to a different harddrive?

    Space is running low on my C drive.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your post.


    That is possible to completely uninstall NinjaTrader and then route it to install to the D drive.


    Before reinstalling the platform, please export a backup file with your settings, by going to NinjaTrader 8>Control Center>Tools>Export>Backup File (and selecting Configuration files, NinjaScript Files, Templates and Workspaces) and save that backup file on your Desktop. Please follow this link for more details: https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8//backup__restore.htm


    Then completely uninstall the NinjaTrader platform:
    • Close all running applications.
    • Navigate to Documents folder > Right-click on the 'NinjaTrader 8' folder > Rename > rename the folder to 'NinjaTrader 8 OLD'. DO NOT delete this folder.
    • Then from the Start menu select --> Control Panel --> Add and Remove Programs or Programs and Features
    • From Add and Remove Programs select NinjaTrader 8 and click Remove/Uninstall.
    • Navigate to C:\ > Program File (x86) > Delete the 'NinjaTrader 8' folder if it exists
    • Reboot your PC.

    Once these steps are completed, download and install NT8 from the this link https://ninjatrader.com/Download (enter your license key) and route it to install to the D drive, as shown on this screenshot:

    Then you can start the platform and restore your backup file in your new installation of the NinjaTrader platform, by going to Control Center>Tools>Import>Backup File.


    Let us know if you have any further questions.
