[Moving the Documents to another drive]

This will do the trick: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

I recommend reading the article, but I try to explain it briefly. Basically, after creating a symbolic link, your documents folder will physically be at another drive and the original path at your C:\ drive will act as a shortcut. So Football Manager will access the original path on C:\ but will actually use the files located elsewhere. Everything will work like before.

1. Move your desired folder to another drive (for example you save files or the whole documents folder). Perhaps make a new folder for it (like Documents, FM20 Saves or whatever).

2. Open the command prompt as administrator.

3. write: mklink /J "Your new path for the folder" "the folder acting as a shortcut"

for example: mklink /J "D:\FM20 Saves" "C:\Users\your name\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\games"

 

Just to make sure, you can test it by creating a new folder D:\test. Then open the command prompt and write mklink /J "D:\doesthiswork" "C:\test". Check if there is a new shortcut at drive C called test. Open it and it should redirect to that other folder.

I hope that helps!

Saw the Beta speculation thread and finally cracked. Bought it from 2game.com for £30/€35, using 10% discount code "BOO". Got the key instantly, it has beta access too.

I messed up my career mode set up and had to start from scratch. What a wonderful surprise it was to see that previous playable league settings were saved! Didn't take long to notice some nice quality of life improvements
