    User Accounts - SSD and Hard Drive


    Newer computers generally have an SSD and a separate Hard Drive. It would be optimal to have the operating system, etc. on the SSD with file storage on the hard drive. I understand that you can move default folders like "documents" "pictures" "videos" etc. to the hard drive, but how do you keep other users from viewing them. Assuming that the SSD is "C" and the hard drive is "D", the default documents folder is c:users/yourname/documents. If you them move the "documents" folder to "D", it is then viewable by all users of the PC whereas before if was only viewable by the user. How can you fix this?

    Hard drives listed as SSD drives

    Upgraded to Win 10 Pro from Win 7 Pro.

    Have 2 Hard drives in Raid 1 set up.

    Win 10 lists these drives as SSD drives in System Properties.

    How do I change the listing of these drives to HD so I can optimize them?

    ssd and hard drive

    I bought my HP All in one at the MS Store. It has a SSD and hard drive. One is listed as C and one a D, set up by them. When I try to download a lot of pictures I get the message that my drive is full but my 1 TB hard drive is not full. How should it be
    configured so that doesn't happen?

    User accounts on different hard drives?: I currently have a hard drive from another computer that I use as an external drive D2 I'd like to know if it's possible to create a user account on my current drive D1 that would run on D2.
