  1. OS Files in both C: and E: Drives!


    I recently replaced a new SSD drive. I also added a M.2 SATA SSD drive.I intended to use the M.2 SATA drive for the OS files and the 2TB SSD for all my DATA files.In the process, I wiped out all the Apps that I had and had to reinstall all the Apps.What I am seeing now is that I have duplicate OS files in my C: drive M.2 SSD and E: drive 2TB SSDThe laptop is now ever so noisy as well and I think that it is running on overload! Perhaps, it could be because Google Drive and One Drive are both syncing at the same time!My question is, can I safely remove/delete OS Files from my E: drive and en

    How to search files stored on E drive - C is just the OS and programs

    Hope someone can give me an easy answer on this.

    Newer computer with a SSD C drive that has the OS and my programs on it.

    D is my CD/DVD drive

    E is my storage drive for folders, files etc

    When I try to search for a specific document or folder it can't find anything. I think it's looking on my C drive as a default. Even using Windows Explorer doesn't work. Really frustrating. I used to be able to type in a couple key words and it would give
    me a list of files that included that word. Now I have to just go through file by file looking for what I need.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
