    Can I move my Native excess and all of my Native instrument software to another drive? My C drive is getting full.

    Yes you can, the bulk is probably centered around your "Komplete library", which is basically the location where all presets and such get stored (the samples, presets, support files, etc, etc.).

    Unfortunately this is also where my expertise ends because I never done this myself :D

    The first thing you want to do is fire up Native Access, check its properties and change the "Content location":

    Next is to determine how much stuff you need to move. If I had to move Komplete then I think I'm looking at 150+ individual products so then I'd probably re-install the whole lot to its new location. If this is less... well, then you can probably use your OS file manager to move the contents and then use Native Access to fix things again (using the "relocate" option).

    ... or relocate manually by reconfiguring whatever software you're using. Most software (Kontakt, Maschine, etc.) are pointed to the used libraries from within their preferences.
