Windows 10: Windows10 machine stores user folders on non-system disk - How do I change this?

After my father had his computer reformatted at a technician, I noticed his desktop folder and download folder was located on D:\. Usually they are located on C:\ on newly installed Windows machines. But somehow this is not the case with this one.

First of all. What might have been the reason for this technician to make this change when installing windows10? (keep in mind that C:\ is an NVME M.2 SSD, and D:\ is a SATA HDD).

Secondly. How do I change the default location for users?

Its still a possibility to create a new user. But in that case I need to change where Windows stores this new user.

Non-system disk or disk error in Windows 10

Hi Aixa,

The Non-system disk or disk error usually occurs when the
computer is unable to find an operating system on any of the storage devices. When this happens, the computer won't be able to load your
Windows operating system. To determine what's causing this issue, we'd like to ask a few questions:

• Have you made any recent changes to your computer?
• What is the make and model of your device?
• What steps have you done so far to resolve your concern?

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Non system disk but why ?

Thank you @Fafhrd
You are absolutely correct. I overlooked what's in Disk 0.
OK. Here's the solution:
The Boot Manager is in partition F: and that's why it's marked Active. You need to move it to C:

1. Download a free version: EasyBCD - NeoSmart Technologies
2. Install, run and follow the screen below.
   
   
   

PS. Use: Macrium Reflect Free instead as advised above

 

?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

hmmm?
Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

Important

If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
If you both use the same computer

You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
If both computers are on the same network

You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

Step-by-step procedure
Note

If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
If you want to share your files online

You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

Step-by-step procedure

If you don't want others to access your files

You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:
