    Hi, I'm not really tech savvy or anything so I'm not really sure what went wrong or what happened.I just redownloaded a game off of steam Saiko no Sutoka and opened it. While the game was on its loading screen, it froze and wouldn't let me close it down to try and change the game's start settings. I had tried to use the alt+f4 keybind multiple times and it didn't do anything. There was also a popup that came up for the game to try and close it, which I'd attempted many times to no avail. After a few minutes of trying, I decided to force close it with Task Manager by pressing ctrl+alt+del. It

    Stuck in BIOS setup loop, dad says SSD/HDD might have been wiped somehow

    Storage setup with a SSD and HDD

    Hi

    I have just purchased an HP Pavillion Desktop with a 256GB SSD and 2TB HDD, I have initialised windows, choosing to use OneDrive for backup and storage (I have 1TB cloud storage with 365) and also updated windows and drivers. I have not transferred
    any data from my old pc yet.

    I now wish to setup the pc to have the operating system and program files on the SSD as they are currently and all my Files/Pictures/Music etc on the HDD but I am unsure of the correct procedures and order in which to carry them out. I also want to
    continue using OneDrive for backup and file access from other devices.

    I am aware of the following:

    • The OneDrive folder is currently on the SSD and is backing up the default Desktop, Documents and Pictures. I wish to move this folder to the HDD but I am not when to do this, looking at the steps below, to prevent any sync issues
    • I know I can move my user folders, Documents, Pictures etc to the HDD by changing the location of these from C: (SSD) to D: (HDD), leaving the User/Username folder on C:
    • I have also noticed that in Settings/System/Storage I can 'change the location where new content is saved' for these folders, what is the difference between this and moving the location of the folders as detailed above.

    Can anyone advise on the best/correct method of setting my system up going forward?

    Thanks
