Moving Documents Folder.

For Win10: settings-->System-->Storage. There you will find a drop-down box with the legend: "New documents will save to:". From there, select the new documents folder. Keep in mind most older apps will still ignore this. Otherwise, you could change the default folder for downloads on your browser.

Cheers!

I am wondering if it is possible to move the Documents folder from my SSD to my HDD? Reason for this question is that I am downloading mods for Farming Sim and they are being installed onto my SSD. Soon enough I will be running out of space on it. Thanks in advance to the who ever helps!

yes, though you should specifiy in settings that you want the My Documents folder on the HDD, and THEN move them.
