Windows 10: how do I move large files to my internal storage drive from my system drive?

Hi...

I have a lot of shortcuts on my desktop and I need to change my download location to another internal drive and also free up space by moving game files from my system drive but I can't locate the files associated with the desktop shortcuts. I tried right clicking properties, but could not figure it out. I am new to windows so I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Internal Drive+Enclosure or External Drive

Hi, I'm not very familiar with storage solutions so I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm looking to buy a 1TB+ drive for backup. External drives seem like more elegant solutions but when I looked on Newegg many reviews seem to suggest that they are not long lived (e.g. break within weeks/months). Is this true? If so, are internal drives + enclosures better? Or do any of you have better solutions that I don't know about (like I said I'm not that familiar with the storage department). Thanks.

Defrag: Move Large Files To End Of Drive?

Hey guys, I saw Defraggler has the option to move large files to the end of the drive, I picked movies (MKV/MP4 etc.)

Is it good to move these large files to the end of the drive? I'm assuming it's for less used files so it doesn't read them as fast or something?

Should I do this or just put it back to normal?
