Win 8.1 Pro hard drives

[CJ5579]

I have windows 8.1 pro. I am running a 120gb ssd and a 1tb hdd. I want the only thing to be on the ssd to be windows and a few drivers. How do i disable things from downloading to the ssd

Start > Computer > Right click Downloads Folder > Properties > Location > Move > Select the folder you want to be "Downloads" on the other drive > Select Folder > Ok

 

Repeat for other sorted folders as you please, Desktop included.

That's just in your browser settings.

In win 8 pc settings, i get disk space saying all i have is on the ssd. is that the way it should be. also, are there any files, such as program files in need do move to the hdd so the ssd is clear of anything but windows

You'd have to make a symlink for Program Files and Program Files (x86) while booted into a liveCD of Linux/OSX/BSD, but that pretty much defeats the entire point of getting an SSD. You'll have to manually specify the directory on the HDD on your own while installing.
