System wipe queries

[C0nn0r]

I've got a new system and messed it up a little bit with installing things on work hard drives and older drivers and tried moving things. I want to completely restart everything. Including the OS. However, I've already installed Adobe CC and photoshop, premier etc. If I do a clean restart of my system will I be able to re install them? Can I just go on the website and sign in and reinstall it? 

(Side note) do drivers have to be installed on the same hard drive as the OS? Or can I keep my ssd for solely just my OS? If I can how do I stop things downloading into it?

It doesn't matter what is installed where, and personally I just keep a separate downloads folder on my E: drive which I have redirected chrome to download to, but there is a way to change the downloads folder and similar folders' locations.

 

Also yes, I don't see why you would not be able to reinstall those programs (especially as they are made for professionals who may work on more than one system).

1) Yes, you can install CC after reinstallation.

2) Drivers can be put in whatever folder you want, whether it's, par exemple, C:/Intel or D:/(insert random number of random folders)/Intel. You can keep your SSD solely for OS, but drivers will load slover of a mech drive, so keep that in mind.

3) What stuff do you want to stop installing?

Just random downloads and programmes and stuff. Just don't want to clog up my OS ssd. I have an SSD for os and a 3tb mechanical hdd for storage. Should I get another drive specifically for video editing software? And photoshop etc.?
