there should be no problems & the whole kit & caboodle will be well away from
Microsoft updates, tinkering etc & probably protected from malware.
I'm always a little worried that a clean-up programm like CCleaner or Wise
Care might think something in VA is redundant or nasty & remove it.

Is there any pressing reason why it should be in the c drive?

I have run VA in a partition very succesfully with only two problems which
were easily solved. One was a CMOS corruption do to me inadvertently pulling
the plug (duh!) & the partition filling up due to the fact that Transient was
saving everything forever & it had filled up with deleted Risc OSM map files
(now sorted).
