Windows 10: default destination for prog's /apps /pics etc

Hi ,
I have a laptop with a 30GB SSD and a 500GB spinning HDD .

I want windows on the SSD but it ALWAYS runs out of space after a few weeks .

Can anyone guide me through a way to have new programs /apps /photos/downloads /.docs etc etc install on the big drive ( d:/ )

I use ITunes for example and during a backup the system reported " not enogh drive space on drive c:/ "

I lost the sony partitioning system when I went down the windows 10 technical preview road months ago .

Thanks

:)

 

Disable "Packet Data"-Connection - How?

If you want it to "always ask" for apps other than navigation (like mail etc), go to

settings>connection>destinations>options>default connection

select "Always ask".

 

where can i see my files saved in phone memory( lumia 520)

FILES LIKE PPT, PPS, DOC, EXCEL, ETC ARE STORED IN SD CARD. THESE FILES ARE NOT VISIBLE. APPLICATIONS, ON INSTALATION, GET INSTALLED IN PHONE MEMORY CAUSING LOW DISK SPACE EVEN FOR A SNAP. HOW CAN I CHANGE THE DESTINATION FOR STORING ALL APPS TO BE INSTALLED
TO SD CARD? (THE PHONE HAS PROVISION TO STORE PICS AND SONGS ONLY).

 

Ok so ive worked some of it out ...... for example I go to downloads > properties > location tab and change to d:/downloads . I do this for documents and pictures also . How to I make NEW apps / programs install to D:/ and not C:/

thanks

 

Get a larger SSD. 30GB is going to continue to run out of space, it's just too small for Win 10. People report having space problems with 60GB SSDs as well. I have a 250GB SSD in my Desktop and no space problems. Also a 120GB SSD in my laptop and no space problems there either.

 

Thanks for that answer , I never thought of that .*sarc

 

Snide remark aside, why try to fit 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag? Get a bigger bag.

I know that's an obvious fix but sometimes people just need to hear it anyway.

I'll stop annoying you with obvious answers now.

 

Have a sense of humour and grow up you sound like a 5 year old .
I apologise if I came across sarcastically but all I was asking was why when I had the recovery partition intact the 30 GB SSD never filled up and why , if you are unable to accept a bit of banter for providing an answer my 6 year old could have answered its a sad day .

 

Keeping everything down to 30GB or less is going to be a challenge whatever you do. I try to keep as much as I can not on the C: drive and it's around 38GB at the moment and I can't see any easy way to reduce that.
In addition to what you've done already, you could possibly get rid of a hibernation file if you don't need it; also the pagefile. You could also move the 'temp' directory to d: - that may be why you had the backup problem.
At least with my setup I've had no problem installing every ordinary program on G: (=your D: partition) - you just have to do a custom install and replace c:\program files with d:\programs\.... Very few programs fail to ask where they should be installed and they all work perfectly well from G:
I don't know about moving the 'metro' apps; I've never touched them.
Also use the built-in Disk Cleanup to remove junk, and CCleaner also so you've got as much free space as possible.

I was going to suggest a new drive, too, given the fact the cost has fallen for the 256 GB and lower sizes.

 

Damn! Your six-year-old is smarter than my 18-year-old. Too late for a replacement I guess.*Smile

 

Thanks very much all .
I hope santa brings be a shiny 250 GB SSD .

And Ztrucker sorry for being sarky

 

Me too. Hoping you have a Very Merry Christmas *Smile *Smile *Smile
