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.

I need to change my Windows 10 location for Documents (“My Documents”)
to a different hard disk drive, and I am unsure what affect this will
have on the Legacy Family Tree program and its associated folders and
files, where there are folders under the standard Documents folder location.
The procedure to change the Windows Documents folder from C: drive to
somewhere else, is straightforward and reliable.
(The new location will not be a cloud location such as Dropbox or OneDrive)
If (example only) that folder is changed to hard drive F:\Documents\,
will the Legacy files and folders (including Media) require copying and
changes for all Legacy folders/files?
Thanks, in anticipation.
