You sure can! On the main screen of the program (“Home”): 1) Click on “Options” 2) Click on the Storage tab (at the top of the box) 3) Click on Change Storage Folder… 4) On the new box, click on Change… to select your new hard drive Before you click Ok, you should decide: do you want to move the photos you already have to that location? If so, check the box “Move photos from old storage(s) to new storage”. If you don’t check it, fine. Only new albums you create will be located in the new drive. Notice that when you check that box, only photos that were copied from removable media are moved: photos that were already in your local drives stay where they are. One more thing: if you remove the external hard drive with your photos, you still can see the thumbnails (that is, the ones you have already browsed with the program). You won’t be able to see (or edit) the full sized photos.
