Relocating the League of Legends game files to a different storage device involves transferring the installation directory from its current location to the desired drive. This process is undertaken to free up space on the original drive or to take advantage of the faster read/write speeds offered by a Solid State Drive (SSD), potentially leading to improved game loading times.
The primary advantage of such a transfer is optimized system performance, especially if the operating system resides on a separate drive. Housing the game on a faster drive allows for quicker access to game assets, resulting in reduced loading screens and smoother gameplay. This relocation can also prove beneficial when addressing storage limitations on the initial installation drive, preventing performance bottlenecks associated with a full or nearly full hard drive.
