Windows 10: How to Make Photos Library Saved on My Hard Drive?

Hello! So recently I built my new pc and I put windows on my SSD. Because of this, all my photos and videos are stored on my SSD (which I don't want). Is there a way to make it so my photo and video library is stored on my HDD? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Click on Open with and select
  photos (To open that particular photo in Windows 10 photos app).

  save.
• Now go back to the folder and check the if you see the changes you made.

Photos and external hard drive problem

Hello,

I have an external hard drive full of photos. I am hoping to link these photos to the Windows 10 Photos app without moving them to the laptop's internal hard drive. I want them to stay on the external drive and, furthermore, want any new photos added (from
my phone, for example) to go to this external hard drive as well.

I have already changed the pathways of where Pictures will be saved to this hard drive.

Anyway, plugged in the external hard drive full of photos and overnight the Photos app pulled found them, organized them by date, etc. All seemed well. Later that day, however, I closed Photos and then removed the hard drive. Later reconnected the hard
drive and started Photos but there was nothing on Photos! The program apparently needs to re-find the photos and rebuild the library every time I plug in the hard drive...this takes hours. Am I missing a process that would allow the Photos app to remember
the library whenever I plug in the hard drive?

Thanks!
