Hello everybody,

 

I just installed a new ssd in my pc. I installed the Windows on this SSD, and I installed another HDD in my pc.

I want to use the HDD for the storage and programs because the SSD is just 60GB.

How do I install all my programs on the hdd without touching the SSD

 

Can someone help me please??

 

I'm sorry for my English because I am from Belgium

Oh its really easy, when you are installing said program it will ask where you want to install the program to. I would recommend you to create a file called "Programs", and store all of the programs within there. Here an example of what the program would say.

Thanks, but when I do this there will go some GB'S from my SSD, I don't know why...

And by some programs they don't ask for the path

You will also need to change the Download path of your browser, so create a folder within your HDD called "Downloads". Then make that your file storage for your downloads. If a certain programs doesn't give you the option to change the location path, then google "Change installation destination %program%".

Certain files need to be install on the main directory of the OS.

Also, there is basically no point in owning an SSD if you don't put programs on it, then it's just a waste of money.
