Windows 10: Replaced hard drive, shortcuts pointing to wrong place

win ver. 1903 (build 18362.836)

my operating system is stored in my SSD, which is working just fine.

my HDD failed this morning and I have replaced it just now, and have it set up. however my file explorer still shows all the shortcuts ("my documents" "downloads" "pictures" etc) that point to the old hard drive.

ive tried to google the answer but no luck. i cannot find anything that is relevant enough to help me, as most of the solutions say I should move my user files back to the old drive and repair etc etc etc. which i cannot do because my old drive is dead.

thank you

edit: inadvertently found the solution

right click > properties > location tab > move... > (choose new location)

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
