Move Sharepoint on-premise from default installation location to non system drive

Hi olkipolki

1. Yes, it is possible to change the Sharepoint installation afterwards to another drive. However, it is a complex process and should not be attempted without careful planning and testing.

2. Yes, it is possible to only change the IIS specific sites/configuration to another drive without touching or reinstalling the whole Sharepoint again. However, this is also a complex process and should not be attempted without careful planning and testing.
   
   

Here are some general (example) steps on how to move Sharepoint on-premise from default installation location to non system drive:

Step 1: Back up your Sharepoint environment. This is the most important step, as you will be able to restore your environment if something goes wrong. There are many different ways to back up Sharepoint, so choose a method that works best for you.

Step 2: Stop all Sharepoint services. Once you have backed up your environment, you need to stop all Sharepoint services. This can be done through the Sharepoint Central Administration website.

Step 3: Move the Sharepoint installation directory. Once all Sharepoint services have been stopped, you can move the Sharepoint installation directory to the new location. Be sure to move all subdirectories and files.

Step 4: Update the registry. Once the Sharepoint installation directory has been moved, you need to update the registry. This can be done using the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard.

Step 5: Configure IIS. Once the registry has been updated, you need to configure IIS. This can be done using the IIS Manager. You will need to create a new website for each Sharepoint web application.

Step 6: Start all Sharepoint services. Once IIS has been configured, you can start all Sharepoint services.

Step 7: Test your Sharepoint environment. Once all Sharepoint services have been started, you need to test your Sharepoint environment to make sure that everything is working properly.
