Copying and pasting the program file will break everything. It would be best to uninstall from the SSD and reinstalling on the HDD.

 

I think there's also a registry tweak for moving the program files folder to the another drive. Not sure how reliable that method is.

This is not necessarily true. You can move most programs around just fine in my experience; I do it all the time.

Well I don't want to uninstall it, I wanted to "mirror" everything thats on my SSD to my HDD
