Installing nvme ssd

[frenzen]

Hello, I will be installing NVME to a system where windows is installed on my sata ssd. I would like to have windows only on sata ssd and everything else on NVME because I do not want to reinstall windows, does anyone have any tips to how I can do that?

 

Thanks

Just point programs to put stuff on the nvme drive, and move folders as needed.

 

Id keep programs on the sata drive though, then you do't have to reinstall them.

you just pop the nvme drive in, assign it a letter, and your good to go. nothing special needed to set it up the way you want to.

how do I point programs?

Step 1: install NVME SSD

 

Step 2: get in to Windows, make sure your SSD is formatted to store data.

 

Step 3: only use your NVME drive. If you want to set it up to be used automatically, that's not too hard. Here are some guides: changing default install location, changing default download location.

Depends on the program. What do you want to store on the nvme drive?

 

You can pick where to install programs when you install them, id keep most on the sata drive though.
