The drive itself will not.

The more startup programs that you have on that drive, however, will.

Startup programs will slow the system down, startup programs on an HDD will be slower than an (most) SSD.

Hello, I have 2 drives in my computer, C drive as HDD (Windows installed in C) and also a D drive as SSD. MY C drive size is 150 GB so i try never to install anything in that drive. My D drive has a storage of 1TB, and i install everything in my D drive. My question is will my pc boot slowly in the future if my D drive is filling up?

Not in the slightest. The drive won't even be read to any significant amount until after you login to your pc.

You should install windows in the SSD rather than the HDD.

Always install the OS in the fastest drive you have.

Any idea how to move Windows to SSD? Or do I have to manually reinstall win10 again
