How can I move my game and my mods into another drive without risking losing my mods and breaking my game?

PC SSE - Help

I’ve have got MO2 and my modding tools (e.g. LOOT) installed onto my root C drive, however my Skyrim SE (or AE which I have) is installed on Program Files x86 and I recently read that it could cause issues.

While modding Skyrim last year, I was only told to put the modding stuff outside of program files, but didn’t remember being told the same for the actual game. Since I have a second Steam folder location on my SATA SSD, that’s where I was thinking of putting all of my Skyrim stuff there, however I am worried that something might break as previously I transferred my Batman Arkham City game (which I also modded) from my C drive to the second drive and I keep getting this Microsoft.NET Framework error about access to document denied which the document is located on my C drive. All the other non-modded games that I transferred to my second harddrive seem to work perfectly fine.

All I’m asking is how I can safely move my Skyrim game, mods and mod tools without worrying of losing all my data or things breaking
