I recently bought a new Asus Transformer Book T100ta 32gb SSD and 500gb HDD. The SSD containing Windows 8.1 is the default C drive. I want to change the SSD to the D drive and the HDD to the C drive so it is the default drive. Could you guys please tell me how to do this?

 

:) Thanks in advance

you shouldn't do that... WHY?! the ssd is way faster than the hdd. this is how it supposed to be. leave it this way.

The blood on to your heart start pumping faster when you notice me.


But is ok.

I know the ssd is faster that's why I'm leaving the OS on it. But it doesn't have any space on it so I need the HDD to be my default drive.

you can't do that, (i lie) Look. whenever you install something or download and save, just click brows to D drive, install everythign to D drive, photos, movies, music, games etc, you do that manual, Get it?

Windows runs off of the C drive.

You can change it inside of the computer management under the list disk management, but I'd suggest that you not change it and save your data onto the HDD, such as defaulting the storage of your desktop or download folders onto the HDD to save space on the SSD.

How do I do that? I know I sound super dumb but I'm not that good with software. I'm a hardware guy.

Go to a user folder (this is for W7, shouldn't be that different in W8.1)

For example: User-> My documents

then right click->Properties->Location

change there where it saves, it'll ask you if you really want to move, then click yes, wait a moment :P

Thanks! :)

^^ That Way

 

Also if you have steam games and such I suggest putting them on the HDD to free up the SSD but this won't dampen the performance of the game.
