Dryer Relocation

I am moving my dryer to a new location in the house without a 220V outlet. Is it difficult to add the outlet? Can I use the existing 110V wiring in the room or do I need to run new cable from the power source? I am a fairly novice electrician, not afraid of hard work, but I want to be realistic.

Thanks, in advance, for the help

No you can not use the existing 110v wiring.
Here is a good start

Thanks, Tony D.

If your Dryer outlet/Plug is currently 3 prong,

"Note All new dryer circuit/receptacle installations must be grounded, which means you would be using a 4 wire dryer cord /Outlet/ 3 wire with ground.with a new circuit install."

Thanks, Tony D.

Yup! 10/3 romex, 2 pole 30a breaker, 4 wire dryer receptacle, 4 wire dryer cord, remove bond jumper in the dryer. White to white, green to dryer case (ground).
