    Split Steam app folder between 2 HDD?

    As the title suggests I want to find out if there's a way I can split my steam app folder on to 2 drives, specifically an SSD that I will be putting my OS and most used games and apps and a regular HDD for everything else?

    Why my second drive HDD is split into 3 things?

    Odd system files located on the second HDD...

    This is kinda an odd thing that happened to me...
    I noticed that some system files (2 folders named "System" and "System64") are locateed on my second drive (2TB Toshiba HDD) although the OS is installed on the M.2 drive (System32, Windows and other folders are located there).
    So my question is, can I move them to the M.2 drive, so that OS files would be located on the same drive ? Because at the moment, I can't boot my computer without having the HDD installed.

    PC Specs:

    • Windows 10 Pro, Build 22H2
    • Ryzen 3 3300X
    • GTX 1660 Ti
    • 16GB DDR4 RAM
    Storage:

    • M.2 Nvme SSD (256GB Adata) - This is the drive where my OS is installed
    • Toshiba 2TB HDD - This is the drive where those 2 folders are located ("System" and "System64")
    If additional info is needed ask me, I'm looking forward to solve this problem.
