Is there a way to rename the Intellij IDEA installation folder within Windows 10 without breaking its functionality?

Answered

When I installed IDEA originally it was in the lord's year of 2020 and naturally the default installation folder, which I used, is thusly named, after the year and the version number. This version number, however, is no longer accurate since I always update my IDEA to the newest version whenever a new one is available, and now the inaccurate version number in the installation folder name really ticks my OCD off. Is there a way to rename the folder without actually breaking the program's functionality within Windows 10? I'm assuming that if the answwer is yes, then I would have to do some regedit stuff to make Windows be aware of the new name of the folder?

The installation directory could be renamed without additional actions.
