Windows 10: Will not let me change primary storage location from ssd to hdd

When trying to switch storage locations from SSD to hdd, it comes up with an error message saying "We couldn't set your default save location" and the error code is 0x80070005. Everything is plugged in fine and in perfect working order. Have tried even restarting the pc and that didn't work

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

 

Change the primary driver from ssd to hdd (hybrid computer)

Hello, I have recently bought a new laptop (Lenovo legion y530). The laptop is a hybrid so it has both SSD and HDD. My issue with it is that when I save documents/apps or games it all gets stored in the SSD by default (which only has 128 GB) I have managed
to change some settings to make them save in my HDD but some apps still go directly to my SSD without me being able to change its location so how do I change the primary driver from SSD to HDD? all help is appreciated. also I have made changes to my settings
in the windows system settings, but It didn't really help.

 

want to make SSD primary boot drive and move HDD to storage.

I recently purchased a 250gb SSD and I want to install windows 10 on it to become my primary boot hdd, then make my existing HDD purlely for storage.

I am just wondering what the best way to go about making this transition would be.
