    Making the hdd main storage space


    I recently built a new pc, I have a 512 gb m.2 ssd, and a 2tb hdd. So my boot drive is the ssd. It contains all of the windows stuff. My question is, how do i safely transfer the folders like (Desktop, documents, downloads) into the hdd? And how do i make the contents save into the hdd, not ssd? I want all of non boot stuff out of the ssd.

    Thanks for reading!

    Storage spaces and Samsung HDD

    I have just upgraded from win 7 to Win 10. With win 7 I had a RAID 10 setup with 3 Samsung HD drives and a single WD HDD. All drives are 1TB. I have installed a Samsung NVMA on the M/B and have installed the new OS on that, so I want to use the 4 HD drives
    as a storage space instead of a RAID. I selected all 4 drives to create a PARITY storage space but the space accepted only the WD drive and reported a connection problem for the other 3. All 4 drives are visible in Disk Manager and are functioning as stand
    alone drives. When I tried to add the drives (one at a time and all together) to the storage space they were NOT added and were then reported as unformatted in Disk Manager. How do I get storage spaces to add these 3 drives?

    Show storage space in This PC


    I can't get This PC to show the storage space bars for my drives and I've done all that's been suggested in this thread.
    Any ideas why I might not be able to make the storage space bars show?
