To move a file geodatabase to a new location, is it as simple as moving the folder to a new location?

I am expanding the scope of an existing file geodatabase so I would like to move it up a folder hierarchy as well as rename it.

For both of these operations, is it as simple as moving the folder via Windows explorer as well as renaming the folder via Windows explorer?

Complications I'm trying to avoid are if there is some metadata that will be lost within the gdb if the name changes. I can restablish links in mxd files that reference the gdb easily of course.
