Yeah, you can install it anywhere. I'm not sure why M$ uses the file structure it does, or if it's forcing certain files on a system drive but it's certainly not a requirement of this or any operating system. It's the whole point of registry entries and DLL libraries, et cetera. The main difference between a Nano and a Micro SIM is the size of the plastic around the microchip. Most networks introduced a Trio SIM card which has all SIM types in one card, so whether you need a standard, micro, or nano SIM, you can manually pop out the correct SIM card size you have to insert in your device. Download and install the games you want to install under that folder. Repeat the process for all hard drives you want to use. It will not move the game you already installed on another drive. It will simply notify you that the games already installed will not be moved and you can continue.
For EA games you can set the default installation path of a game through Origin

There’s no option to set the path individually for each game. If you want to install the game at a different place then the rest, change the location of the library before installing the game and change it back after the installation is done or simply move the game after installing.

Moving a game to a different installation path
Sometimes it desirable to have your game on a different location from where it was initially installed. For example if you bought a new hard drive and want the games on there, or the space on your c drive is getting sparse and you need to free up some space, or you simply did some reorganization on your drive and want it somewhere else.
I do not recommend installing the game on an external drive or USB stick.
Up till now, you had to uninstall the game and reinstall it again on the new location, which also meant to redownload the entire game.
