Hi there!

Move user folder loc'n: pls confirm - pgms will store data on d:\ HDD

Dell laptop, Win10Pro, c:\ SSD 100GB, d:\ HDD 900GB

Before I follow Kari's step-by-step tutorial:

I just want someone to confirm that after I have run Kari's tutorial all (or almost all) programs will, in future, store data only on d:\ on a go-forward basis.

Thanks

 

how to move documents pictures etc folders from C: OS ssd to D: data hdd

If it is a new Internal or external drive, you have to format it first. If it has been formatted then skip this step.

If Internal or external drive, plug in or just go to THIS PC and right click on the drive and select Quick Format NTFS

Restart PC.

Now just select what you want on C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME or C:\Users\Public or if you stashed some more elsewhere on C:\, and right click on it and select copy, and then go to D:\ location where you want it and select paste. (Or select Cut and then Paste
- to Move). That is it. You can select multiple folders and copy or move them all at the same time.

OR

Go here

Settings>>System>>>Storage for SSD storage transfer to HDD

And send your main personal user folders to D:\ Network location/external drive to store them and have your personal folders still listed on C:\ as the shortcut to store them on D:\, so you do not have to go to D:\ to actually access them and so programs
and the system does not become corrupt or have problems accessing a folder.
