Windows 10: How to move Public folders from C: to new D: drive using Win 11 Pro

What I thought would be a straightforward task is proving difficult. I'm setting up a new Dell XPS/Win 11 Pro that only shipped with a 512GB SSD. I added a 2TB SSD. I was able to redirect my user folders to D by going to System>Storage>Where new content is saved. I'm unable to figure out how to move the Public folders Doc, Music, Video, Downloads to D. I've looked through several posts on this topic and have yet to find a solution. I understand that the shell folder "Public" can't be moved and have created a Public folder on the new D drive. Several posts talk about right clicking on a

Moving Public Folder to another drive

I have been asked to install an HDD in a church pc which only has a 224GB SanDisk SSD which is running out of space.
The problem I can foresee is that the church uses an application called SongPro which insists to install in the C:\Users\Programs File (x86) and the data files in the
C:\Users\Public\SongPro5 folder and does not give the option to be installed software
on another drive.
I have searched the web if and how the Public folder can be moved to another drive and found that it can be done using the following steps;

1. COPY (don’t MOVE) the C:\USERS\PUBLIC folder to a different disk or partition
2. Click the START button and type REGEDIT (not case sensitive) and press enter
3. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS NT > CURRENT VERSION > PROFILE LIST
4. Double click on PUBLIC
5. Correct the path
6. Reboot the PC
7. Go to C:\USERS\PUBLIC and delete everything

Can someone here please confirm if the SongPro software is installed in C:\Users\Programs File (x86) (the SSD) and the path Public\SongPro5 folder moved to another folder will work?

 

if i reset this pc with the option in win 11 will it reset drive D: and C: or C: only?

if i reset this pc with the option in win 11 will it reset drive D: and C: or C: only? i mean like will my apps like steam and games will it still be there on folder D: or will it get deleted too with the C:

@NavyLCDR
I have installed an HDD in my test pc to carryout your suggestion above but I have run into a problem with the HDD I installed which I deleted the existing volume and then created a new volume after restarting the pc it does not seem to be recognised by the BIOS although it appears in Device manager as Unknown device and in Disk Management as unknown.



I tried to initialise the drive in Disk Management but get an error from Virtual Manager "Her system cannot fined the file specified"








Any ideas how to solve this?

EDIT: Changed the SATA data cable and the HDD is recognised by the BIOS and the HDD seems to be initialised as it is now working. *Redface

Will try @NavyLCDR suggestion and will post back.
