Windows 10: Intstalling Off.2010 on storage and W10 on SSD?

I had to reinstall W10 (worked, yay!)

Now I have to install my Office 2010 discs and get any updates from way back when.

I installed W10 on my SSD.

Is it ok to install Office 2010 on the 1TB storage drive?

I would prefer to save the SSD for W10, and speed intensive software (video editing, multitrack audio recording, PhotoShop, online multiplayer games.)

I use Word and Excel and Outlook set to an Outlook.com address (ost file.)

Any potential issues for Windows and or Office if I run Office from the HD rather than the SSD?

Thanks

:)

 

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.

 

SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

Hi Ash,

There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

• On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
  Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
• Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
  and then select OK.

Keep us in the loop with the result.
