    Move "My Documents" to Another HD Volume?


    In Windows 7 (and in XP I think) it was straightforward for a user to move the entire "My Documents" folder (containing e.g. files created in all Office software, including Outlook *.PST stores) to a different drive or volume -- very convenient for keeping personal data separate from the OS. Can this still be done in Windows 10? If so, how? -- JCW2

    type in list volume..... your array volume should come up.... if so

    type in Select volume 7
    assign
