Thank you Brian - that is the information I need.
I have had a long-term problem with Legacy crashing when I try to access some
parts of the Customise (particularly, section 6 = Locations). So it might be
useful for me to remove/delete the _AppData under Legacy, and start again.
That is a separate problem - I hope it is fixed that way.
The move of Windows 10 Documents is unrelated to Legacy - it is on an SSD which
is a bit small, and something else than Downloads, Documents and Legacy is
using space on that location and I have larger HDD to use for Docs, Legacy,
etc.

Yes, You will need to copy the Legacy folders from their current location to
the new drive/documents before you open Legacy after redirecting Windows to the
new drive.
When legacy starts if it does not see the _appData folder in the Windows
Documents folder for the user it will create a new one using the default copies
from the Legacy Install files in the Windows Program Files folders. This will
effectively reset all your options to default values.
