Program Files (x86) doubts

[Pikachu_loves_to_game]

Hey there!I have a major problem right now

I have a 1TB Hard drive in my laptop which is divided into 3 Separate Volumes(give in the image), C drive is where all my program files exist and its taking up alot of space and my c drive is running out of space so i wanted to move the program files to my E volume, but i am not sure whether or not if the applications would work especially applications from 'Program Files(x86)'.

So would i need to take the whole file and nothing would happen or can i individually transfer application files and walk of with no problems at all

Is there any particular reason that you need three separate volumes?  If they are all on the same drive, consolidating the volumes would solve a lot of headaches.

The reason its divided is because my laptop used to break down quite often sometime ago, so to prevent loss of general data. it was divided into 3 drives, my father refuses to consolidate all three drives

You could create symlinks.  I have never done this personally but this website seems to give good instructions.

uninstall the apps you want to move then reinstall them to the new directory some you may need to hit advanced install options to see the directory option

really! Will this work for the apps that were originally in the (x86) file too?
