    Partitioned drives C vs D


    Hi I bought a new Windows 10 notebook. I did not realize that the data storage was partitioned. I have 119 GB on C: "Windows" and 930 GB on D: "data drive".


    My files do not all fit on C:. I assume the data on the D drive loses some functionality, but I don't know what exactly. D lacks the nifty folder categories that are set up on C i.e. my documents".


    Which is most important to keep on the C drive: MS Office & Outlook files 13 GB, photos & videos 80 GB, or music 21 GB?


    The photos are the monster file size, so pretty sure they need to go on D.


    thanks.

    :)
