There is no need to do a fresh install or any of that. I do this all the time. Just copy the base WoW folder to the new location.
The default location isnormally: C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft
I would recommend copying to: :\Games\World of Warcraft
Then open up the Battle.net launcher .
Click on the “Blizzard” icon in on the top left.
Click on “Settings”.
Click on “Game Settings”.
Click on the drop down that says “World of Warcraft”.
Click on “User a Different Folder”
Then browse it to the new drive and folder you copied the game to and click on done.
Rename old WoW folder to Old Wow or something
Try to run the game, if it works, delete the old renamed wow folder.
