Just installed SSD, anyway to avoid having to re-install Origin games?

This might seem like a strange idea, but basically I've just installed an SSD and I want to install Battlefield 3, which is an Origin game, on that SSD, but I don't want to have to download it again because it's a 15Gb download and that will take me all night.

So is there any way to install that game on my SSD using the files that Origin originally downloaded onto my HDD? If so, can anyone tell me how I'd go about doing that?

If origin is anything like steam, you just copy the folder over to the new drive.

Oh really? That sounds like it could save me a lot of time.

So I would just install Origin on my SSD, then copy this folder from my HDD:

D\rogram Files (x86)\Origin Games\

Onto the Program Files (x86) folder on my SSD? Is it really that simple?

Thanks for the help. Got it working now. I just installed Origin, moved the files over from the HDD, clicked 'Install' on BF3 in Origin and it did it's thing and now it works. Had to install Punkbuster again though.
