Having trouble finding files

Hi all, I recently have come back to Daz after several years away. All my old Daz assets are installed on a removable drive and the application itself is on a souped up but older Macbook Pro 2018 running Catalina.
I'm unable to find any of the recent goodies I've bought, and cannot remember the torturous route towards installation that I patiently learned 8 years ago. Yes, I have a much newer Mac bought last year, but it doesn't have the GPU (or the amount of RAM) that I have on my old machine, so Daz 6 is not an option.
I remember something about selecting a path for installation but am worried if I change that, it will cause the program to forget/lose the files that are currently available.
Desperately seeking help!

Since this is a Mac, does the drive you are using for content have case sensitve folder names? Can you create a folder named Test and a folder named test in the same location?
The folder DIM is set to install through isn't used by DS as such, changing it won't have any impact on loading currently instaled cotnent (for good or ill). Assuming iot isn't a casing issue, have you told DS where to find the DIM content (you need to add the folder DIM is installing to as a Daz Studio Format content directory in Edit>Preferences>Content>Content Directory Manager).
