Is there any way to move my pictures/downloads folder from my SSD (where the OS is located), to my HDD?

Is your HDD mapped as another drive letter?

These should be able to help you out, just set a new folder as "Documents" or other folders (including the Desktop):

Did this for my dad's PC. Works like a champ.

Move folders that you need to HDD, not whole user folder. Then you can map libraries and even downloads to HDD. For libraries you need to right click on library and then add and remove folders from there. For downloads its bit trickier. I have it shown in start menu so I right clicked it there and in properties location tab change the place. This will only work for windows finding right folder with shortcut links. You still need to set software one by one to use it. Should be easy if you only have 2-3 browser/torrent/downloader software.

 

E: And if you mess up, just move files to temp folders in HDD and recreate user accounts.
