On my PC I got my main drive (a 512 SSD) and a 2nd HDD drive with various stuff (including various game libraries, such as BattleNet)
I just installed a brand new 2 TB SSD in my system and I am copying all the game library on it.
When the process is complete, I plan to swap my 2 extra drives letters and.. hopefully, voila, my gaming library will be on my ssd!
Would that work you think?
I mean most files are simply referenced by name or relative name, instead of more arcane file sector address...
What think you?
[EDIT]
And.... it worked!

Depends on the game, I guess.
Some DRM software uses HDD ID as well as processor, etc. so it's in the laptop of gods, really!
Good luck - and enjoy the extra space (while it lasts)

The title suggested you downloaded some extra GBs...

Would also depend on whether diskaccess is done via Drive letter or volumeID.
Best bet is to make a clone of the old drive.

Oh my gawd, yes. Yes, it will: How Many Potatoes Does It Take To Run DOOM?[^]

Potato Power! 
Respect!
Also, me think, a Delorean can run on potatoes, right?

How many potatoes do you need to get 1.21 Mw?

I think the technical term for that number is "an Idaho".

I thought the localized term was "an Ireland"

Some empirical testing gives 0.5V and 0.2mA, using a copper and zink nail into a generic potato (Bintje).
But not at the same time, so maximizing power gives 0.25v * 0.1mA = 0.025mW
So approx. 48 billion spuds would do it.
The potato production of Idaho 2019 was 130,900,000 CWT. The generic potato I used for the test weighed 100g so the yearly potato production of Idaho could be assumed to be in the vicinity of 65 billion spuds.
You Sir is todays winner of making a qualified guess!

A potato is a large collection of chips.

(That's "fries" for our American cousins.)
("Chips" could work, but in the UK they would be "crisps" instead.)

The startup phase of the Pi uses much more than 100mA - I guess that's why it did not work.

He has to have been the greatest writer of spy novels, ever. Have also enjoyed many of his books, (and film/TV adaptations), including The Constant Gardener - which demonstrated he wasn't just a "Smiley writer".

Yeah,
I need to decode Punycode in a project. So I find myself reading the RFC[^]. Oh look, there is a sample encoder/decoder right there in the RFC! It's my lucky day.
But wait... LibIDN[^] has a verbatim copy of this code with almost no changes with the GNU license slapped onto it.
But wait... the RFC is also 'Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2003). All Rights Reserved.' at the bottom which isn't mentioned anywhere on the GNU provided code.
I can infer that I am not the first person to ask about this... the GNU header says the following:
/*
* This file is derived from RFC 3492bis written by Adam M. Costello,
* downloaded from http://www.nicemice.net/idn/punycode-spec.gz on
* 2015-03-02 with SHA1 a966a8017f6be579d74a50a226accc7607c40133, a
* copy of which is stored in the GNU Libidn version controlled
* repository under doc/specification/punycode-spec.gz.
This is legal speak for 'We took this from a work in the public domain'.
This is like following a spider web... let's keep following the threads. So let's check the original licence at http://www.nicemice.net/idn/punycode-spec.gz[^]
B. Disclaimer and license
Regarding this entire document or any portion of it (including
the pseudocode and C code), the author makes no guarantees and

So without being a lawyer I interpret this as a guy named Adam wrote the Punycode RFC and put it into the public domain. Then the 'The Internet Society' slapped a copyright on the code. Then someone working on LibIDN copied the code and slapped a third license on it.

The GPL turned me off of anything GNU.
I use the MIT license for 99% of my stuff.
And that's trashy what they're doing. I'm glad nobody can take my public domain work (like my GLR parsing code) off CP and slap a copyright on it. If they tried someone could just find my work at CP. It sounds like Adam's work should be accessible. Can't you derive from that, and tell all of these copyright/license trolls to take a hike? That's what I would do.

I used GPL-3 so that anyone who wants to keep their code private will have to ask for another license. My assumption is that they want to use my code for commercial purposes, in which case I want to be compensated.
If anyone knows of a better way to achieve this, I'm open to suggestions.

That's one way to do it.
I figure a copyright is enough for me, but I do not write my code samples with the notion that I will ever be compensated for them. If I did maybe I'd follow your lead.
I also am paranoid about putting my actual contact info out there.
Instead I have my brand (honey the codewitch) and I write articles and code under that name (for paid and free, it's my business as well)

I don't think anyone would want the code in my articles, since they're usually simplified fragments or outright sketches. But since my GitHub license is GPL-3, I just use that for the articles.
