Program Installation Help

I recently installed a 1TB NVMe SSD in my PC while keeping my 1TB HDD for mass storage. How do I put non critical programs into the HDD and still have them run as there is no Program Files or Program Files x86?

When running the installer for a program, you will get the option (99% of the time) to relocate where the program will be installed. If the Program Files and Program Files x86 folders don't yet exist, you can either create them now, or usually you'll get prompted that it does not exist and will ask you if you'll allow it to create it. Select yes, continue following prompts on the installer, and you're good. You should still have an icon for the program show up in the start menue and on the desktop, which will still run the program just fine.

I have them on the SSD, just not the HDD. ANd I want those programs on the HDD.

Then uninstall them from the SSD and reinstall them on the HDD.
