Here is how to move entire .chia directory from your user onto another drive in Windows and create a “directory junction” (aka hard link).

Let’s suppose currently chia home directory is C:\Users\yourname\.chia
And your new drive is X:\

  • Stop chia software using command chia stop all -d and make sure all processes are terminated (double check in task manager)
  • Move C:\Users\yourname\.chia to X:\.chia
  • Create hard link:
mklink /j C:\Users\yourname\.chia X:\.chia

This will make it so the original chia software thinks it works in the default directory, but it will be actually stored in another drive.
