SSD Boot Drive + Storage HDD

OmgHavoc

So I have a SSD which currently has my OS and everything else that I've downloaded in the past couple of months and a near empty 1TB HDD. How can I delete everything except my OS off the drive and configure my computer so that everything gets downloaded to the HDD with the exceptions of things I manually move into there?

 

I'm currently using a 840 Pro and have a 750GB and 1TB HDD installed but magician will not let me use either for a backup.

Copy over your personal files (Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music, Downloads) onto your HDD, having separate folders for each.

 

Go to the original location of the folders on the SSD (folders should just be to the left of explorer), right click them and go to properties.  Go to location and set the new locations to the folders on the HDD.

 

Cheers

After you're done setting them, the only way to download to your HDD is to make sure that whatever programs you use points to the new drive. 

 

Chrome (and other browsers) set the default location.
