Windows 10: I need new programs to stop loading to my C drive

I changed what I could find in settings to download new items to my J drive. Things are still automatically downloading to the C drive. What might I be missing?

C: Drive disk cleanup

I've already done your suggestions....... yep, need a bigger drive for C: suppose!

 

Is there a way to transfer a program load by the DVD player to the C drive?

Is there a way to transfer a program that loads from the PC DVD player to the C drive in order to not use the DVD player? New PC will not have a DVD player and I have a few programs that require a CD to be inserted into the DVD player to run. These CD
programs also require the CD to remain in the DVD drive until I am finished using then.

 

Installing Windows on my new C drive

Current Situation: My C Disk is cramming up and I decided to change a new C disk.

Currently my computer storage is composed of an SSD (being my C disk) and an HDD. I bought a new SSD and desire to somehow transfer my current system into the new SSD along with the current environmental variables, user data, both program files folder, and
various other folders instead of installing a brand new system on my new C drive.

Questions I am currently wondering:

1. I noticed the function provided by windows called "Create a system image". Currently my softwares are distributed evenly in my C drive (SSD) and D drive (HDD). I am not changing my HDD, so softwares installed there will not be removed. If I only choose
   to backup my system in my C drive, can I still run my softwares on my HDD after changing a C drive and reinstalling Windows using the generated ISO file?
2. Does this function "create a system image" pack up the environmental variables, registry, along with all other folders in my C drive, or only the minimal system?
3. If I extract the system image ISO into my new C drive, can I somehow "extract" from the ISO file to create a new system in my new drive? If not, is it possible to make my new C drive a windows Boot USB, and directly installing the windows system onto itself?
4. What is your suggested method of making this move?

Thank you for your help!!
