• In the title of this thread it also says "system databases".

    This does in fact work a little different and not all by simply "MOVE FILE".

    It is described in BOL: Move System Databases

    And also just a personal tip: think about stop using drive letters. Using mount points eases much of such deployment and maintenance issues
