transfer SSD to HDD

[Sander Van Dam]

So I have 2 storage devices an 2T HDD and a 120gb SSD in my rig. When I built the PC I of course installed windows on my SSD for faster boot time and what not, but now my pc used my SSD as my primary storage source. Of course I want to keep my "important files (windows and everything attached to it)" to stay on it. How do I make my HDD the primary storage device without messing everything up? 

 

So,

1- make hdd primary device on my computer (file downloads and such)

2- transfer documents from sdd to hdd +  keep windows and steam games on ssd for faster boot times and load up times

 

Much help needed, Thanks

You can't really change the primary drive. What you can do is reconfigure software like Chrome/Firefox etc. to use E instead of C for downloads. Then simply copy/move the documents to the other drive.

 

You may be able to move some programs too, but some won't like it. You may have to reinstall them. Make sure to select E as the destination during installation. Usually that means selecting advanced installation instead of just accepting defaults.

hmmm... okay. Well that is a huge pain. Yeah I've been looking out on where to download my stuff but I really just wanted to change from SSD to HDD. Thanks
