Windows 10: Changing drive location of a file and how it is saved in Windows 10

My SSD in WIndows 10 is consstantly popping up as full, despite my having already changed the location for new files to my HHD. I have found that the culprit eating up all oh the memory in my SSD is the Roaming file in AppData. I am pretty positive it is my Adobe editing software.


I would like to change the folder storage from the SSD to the HHD which is less than half full, and make it where new files will automatically go there. Everything I have ready tells me to go to properties and click the location tab to change it from there. However, I do not seem to have a location tab. Not sure where to go from here. Any help is 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
