But I'd say for now keep the HDD for data only.

Steam also has a Steam mover program that can move the install directory later on without breaking the games. Most games and programs have a custom install option to select a different install location. If you have a huge game library than install some of those to the other drive.

And a 120 GB can do all that plus hold some very large programs or a couple large games.

A 64 GB can house Windows and many common programs quite easily. Load, save, and update/patch times will greatly benefit from being on the faster SSD.Ī 120 GB isn't that small, Windows can happily live on a 32 GB drive by itself. You may also want to install some games onto the SSD too. You only boot Windows once a day if that, you use your programs all the time though.
The reason being is that you want the computer and your programs to run fast right? If you put all your programs onto a mechincal drive then you've wasted money on the SSD. I'd also leave or let Programs install to the SSD. However I would leave the AppData folder on the SSD. You can move your Documents, Pictures, Videos, etc. Some programs might abuse that directory and dump a lot of stuff there you'll just have to keep an eye on it if it starts filling up. Documents you should be fine moving to your hard drive. That way most everything is in one folder, except for a couple specific folders that you know will take up a lot of space. I recently bought a new SSD(480GB) and decided I would keep everything on it except for my downloads and documents. So I'd open Downloads, for example, which was on D:(hard drive), but it wouldn't let me simply go up a directory to my user directory on D. Opening the shortcut to the user directory brought be to the C: drive(SSD), which is not what I wanted. One of the most frustrating things was trying to open up my user directory on the hard drive, which is where I wanted to store everything. Some things I specifically directed to my hard drive, but some things I didn't have that option. So anything that wanted to use my user directory but not a "windows library" still went to the SSD. But that doesn't actually change my base user directory.
I did the official windows relocate library thing for all the directories I could. I tried doing the same thing - running my OS on the SSD and having my user directory on my hard drive. If anyone can give me a ELI5 guide on what I should do that would be amazing.

I have a SSD with Windows 7, some drivers and Google Chrome on it and a blank HDD.Īm I right in thinking that my 'C:\Users\username folder' should live on the HDD - so that AppData and documents doesn't fill up the SSD? So now on a fresh install I feel like I am about to run into the same problem. Ended up getting fed up again and fresh installed Windows again. Tried that but it wouldn't let me delete/change permissions (a lot of access denied errors) on the old folder. I followed another guide that said to copy and paste the 'C\Users\username' folder to the HDD and then use regedit to change the registry to suit. After falling down the rabbit hole for a bit I threw the head up and just reinstalled windows. When I followed this method it seemed like all the folders got merged into one massive folder. I followed loads of guides that all said to do the same thing, Right click folder > Properties > Location tab > Move.
So I recently got a 120GB SSD and I wanted to use it for my windows OS only, and use my HDD for data/apps/games etc.įirst I tried to port/clone my existing stuff onto the SSD - which went okay - but when I went to change the location of My Documents etc.
