    How to change everything by default to another hard drive?

    I bought a new PC and it came with 2 Hard Drives, one SSD and another simple one, the windows is on the SSD drive as expected but I want everything else to go by default to the bigger drive, but I could not do this.

    Screenshot

    I want EVERYTHING except the windows to the hard "D:", can I do this in only one step? I don't want to have to download everything manually to that drive.

    Also, there's a way to create all the default folders on the second hard drive? (or move them to there)

    Example: Screenshot

    And

    Hi John,

    We suggest that you try the troubleshooting steps below:

    • Open your External Hard Drive file in File Explorer.
    • Type the name of the file you want to search on the search box and click Enter.
    The file will show up in Search Results and you will be able to move it to the correct folder.

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
