I place all of my games in c:\games because I've had times, especially with older games, when the space in Program Files (or the brackets in Program Files(x86)) interfered with proper gameplay.

I currently have Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3 and Dragon Age 2 installed through Origin, but I didn't configure the Origin install path properly and now they are located in c:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games. I reconfigured that path to c:\games\Origin Games, but my games are still in the old folder. Can I just copy and paste them into the folder I want them to be in or do I have redownload them?
