Windows 10: I noticed my Local drive C and F both have windows program files, since my OS is in my ssd...

Since my OS is in the C drive is it safe to delete the same files that is also in my F drive to free up some storage?

Help! Local Drive changed from C to F

Can anyone assist me to change a Local drive to C from F? Basically I had trouble with my PC and it kept crashing. Microsoft helped to reset Windows 10 but the Drivers are not the same as they were before. Before they were: C (Local), D, E, F.

But now they are: F (Local), E, G

This also causes an issue with a particular file: PowerDirector 15 file that won't load up my project and is saying that the files are missing. Originally the files were saved under C Drive (Local)

I appreciate if anyone can help me.

Many thanks.

 

Partitioning Program Files/Program Files(x86) from Windows 10 install?

In the coming week I will be installing Windows 10 Home on my new computer. I will be using an SSD and an HDD, the SSD for the OS, programs and games and the HDD for photos, music and all the other slow stuff.
So, my question. In case the OS were to ever get corrupted, or I had to reinstall the OS for any other reason, is it possible to have the SSD set up as follows; Partition 1 - OS, Partition 2 - Program Files/Program Files((x86) plus other associated folders/files) and Partition 3 for my games, so that any re-install does not wipe out my already installed programs?

I had no problem doing this in with my XP desktop(OS in C and Progs in D, although not perfect, but was never able to do it with Windows 7.

Can it be done?

Tom.

 

How to search files stored on E drive - C is just the OS and programs

Hope someone can give me an easy answer on this.

Newer computer with a SSD C drive that has the OS and my programs on it.

D is my CD/DVD drive

E is my storage drive for folders, files etc

When I try to search for a specific document or folder it can't find anything. I think it's looking on my C drive as a default. Even using Windows Explorer doesn't work. Really frustrating. I used to be able to type in a couple key words and it would give
me a list of files that included that word. Now I have to just go through file by file looking for what I need.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
