    I wish to reset my computer and change my default hard drive


    No matter what I do I cannot seem to have enough space on my c: drive while my d: drive is practically empty. I plan to reset my windows 10 computer and make the default drive the d: drive after the reset, including all the system files and stuff like that


    Is this possible? If so, could someone direct me on how I ought to go about doing this, and anything I should be wary of?

    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Resetting Computer with Multiple Hard Drives?

    Hey all,

    Just a quick question. My computer has three hard drives:

    • An 128GB SSD as C:\ for Windows 10 and essential applications (Visual Studio, Office, etc)
    • An 700GB SSD as D:\ for nonessential applications and games
    • A 2TB platter HDD as E:\ for general file storage.
    My computer has been running a bit weird lately (especially since I had a RAM stick go bad about a month ago) and so I just want to reset the C drive. My intention is to use the following steps:

    • Settings > Update & Security > Recovery
    • Click Get Started under Reset this PC
    • Click Remove Everything
    • Erase quicky (since I'm not trading this PC in)
    So, my question is, if I do this will it format all three drives or will it only affect my C drive? I just want to know if I should disconnect my E drive before restoring my PC.

    Thanks in advance!
