should work,

also might need to rename the folder in appdata/local/ccp/eve to keep using your current settings.

^ this.
When eve is first launched from a folder, it creates another folder in current logged in windows user app folder, which is located at:
C:\Users\[Insert username here]\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\[drive]_[prefix folder to eve if any]_eve_[server(default is tranquility)]

So it will be something like C:\Users\spudLazair\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_eve_tranquility.

Rename it to match with new location.

OR

- Note the previous folder but do not touch it.
- Simply run eve from its new directory after you move.
- Close it.
- Note the new directory in same appData directory.
- Copy new folder's name, not itself.
- Delete new folder, rename old folder to new folder.
- Test
