You can't do this, the system needs to be in the root folder in order to keep all the links working because it uses pretty URLs. However, you can easily move it to another domain, like "localmvc" instead of "localhost". You can target the new domain to any folder. If you're using XAMPP, this can be managed using XML configuration.

As first, you need to edit the hosts file (it's a Windows file with no extension located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Add the following line at the end of it:

127.0.0.1               localmvc

Then you need to edit the httpd-vhosts.conf file in C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra to look like this:

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "fill in the path to your MVC project"
    ServerName localmvc
    <Directory "fill in the path to your MVC project">
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Be sure to fill in the path to your MVC project. Then just restart Apache and open http://localmvc

You can walk through a storm and feel the wind but you know you are not the wind.
