    Windows (C:) drive has OS but (D:) drive has nothing


    I just reset my PC because it was getting sluggish and once it was all reset i noticed that the C drive has all of the files like 'Program files (x86)' and 'Users' and my D drive has nothing at all. My main problem is that i cant easily just download and install programs onto the D drive like Steam or Origin.

    Any help would be appreciated cause i am not the best with computers and have been looking for a straight fix for a while now. Windows (C:) drive has OS but (D:) drive has nothing :)

    :)

    No C: but D: drive has all the data

    Hi Austin,

    To help you with your concern regarding the data on the drive C:, you're seeing the drive "C:" as the drive "D:" because you're booting your computer outside Windows. When booting your computer outside Windows, the system is reading the recovery partition
    as drive C: and the data in the drive C: \ are listed on the drive D: \. Try to boot your computer and try to check again the data in the drive C: \ and see if the data are listed.

    Regards.

    Windows (C:) drive has OS but (D:) drive has nothing

    OS drive versus D drive

    My new window computer has 100g on the OS drive, of which 71G is already used (Computer is two weeks old)

    How much of the 71G is from the Windows 10 operating system?

    If I buy a piece of software and install it on my computer, is it all going to land on the OS drive?

    MY D drive has 1TB of storage space. It is designated as D (Data).

    I assume anything I create (Word Docs, CAD drawings, etc) would be stored here.

    If What I've said is true why do documents I create default to the OS C: drive?
