    How to use SSD for OS and HDD as storage???


    I am currently running the newest version of windows 10 and I have an SSD for my OS only and a HDD as storage. And every time I install a program it defaults to install on the SSD. I have changed the storage settings in windows so that apps and so on go will to the HDD but nothing seems to be going there, so what I have to do is keep on manually changing the install path when installing programs. So is there any way to make it so that it will default to the HDD instead of me having to keep on changing it to the HDD?

    Thanks for reading! How to use SSD for OS and HDD as storage??? :)

    64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

    I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.

    If you don't need an SSD, get the 2tb drive. I have two SSDs, one 64gb for some programs and the OS, and a 180gb SSD for my games. Storage is on a 1tb HDD. If you don't use programs that profit considerably from an SSD (photoshop) and can live with Windows taking a bit longer to boot, get the 2tb drive.
