I installed the game long ago on my C:/ drive. Now I wanna move the install onto my SSD G:/ drive... how do I do that without uninstalling and downloading the whole thing all over again? (in fact, I don't even see a exe for uninstalling! LOL!)

Move it to the G drive. Then fix registry to point to current location so that the portal will find it when updating next time.
The portal can probably be moved directly without a fix. Notice that the game settings are on Windows user directory. (keymappings and other)

Run the Command Prompt as an Administrator, then run this command to add the registry entry.
reg add HKCU\SOFTWARE\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\Production\Install /v INSTALL_LOCATION /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\" /f
Change the path to the proper location if it's not C:\Program Files (x86)\Piranha Games\MechWarrior Online\.
