  1. Can the windows 10 version of itunes be moved to a secondary drive somehow by a symbolic link?


    Hello, many programs have an option for a custom installation. However, the windows version of iTunes is automatically installed on a default drive, and installs many files in appdata, and then the other files in program files/common files/apple support.So the option to move it from add and remove programs also asks me to delete programs from the secondary drive.I would like to find out if I can somehow use the symbolic link or otherwise move this to the secondary drive?

    :)

  2. Symbolic link question for itunes backup. Symbolic link seems to have been overwritten. Please advise (Windows 10)

    So, I created a symbolic link a while back to force itunes to backup data from an iPhone to a secondary internal hard drive. I understand this is a Windows forum, but perhaps somebody can help.

    I initially was able to save the backups through windows 10 to the secondary hard drive. However, for some reason, windows or itunes (or a combination) has changed so the symbolic link stopped working.

    I do not have room for these large backups to be saved on the windows hard drive.

    The command appears to be correct. Please advise regarding how to fix it if possible. thanks.

  3. Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

    Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

    Steps to confirm issue:

    • Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
    • Secondary drive not visible in device manager
    • Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

    Steps to replicate issue:

    • Installing 1909 update

    Steps to resolve issue:

    • Uninstall 1909 update

    Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
