About Windows update (SSD)

[MrAlanSmith]

Iv installed Windows 7 pro on my SSD and i have a 500GB hard drive, Is there any chance that i can install Windows updates on my HDD without putting it on my SSD because there is not gonna be any room for it, I wouldnt be able to put my game that i play alot on my SSD and how do you install programs on my HDD without installing it on my SSD?, Im a bit confused, Never done or seen this before.

Thanks

How large is the SSD?

And no....you can't 'install' windows updates on another drive. They become part of the OS, on the SSD.

A 250GB SSD. How is that not large enough for the OS, some utilities, and your 'game'?

For other applications? Sure. Just select Custom or Advanced during the install. Tell it where to go.

For other things that really take up space (music, video, docs, etc)see these.

No. There is no reason for that.
I am unsure of what exactly you're trying to do.

You can't 'install' Windows updates on the HDD. They are part of the OS living on the SSD.
If you're running out of space on the 250GB SSD, move some stuff off of it.

You have to install "Windows updates"

Well, yes.
Still entirely unsure of where this is going.

Really?, I have a 250GB SSD and i have Windows on my SSD and you said i cant put the Windows updates on my HDD and all the Windows 7 updates will not fit on the SSD and everyone is saying i need the updates so should i put Windows 7 on my HDD instead?

 

[USAFRet]

OK. You have the OS on the SSD. Because the Windows updates become part of the OS, they also go on the SSD. You cannot 'install' them on the HDD.

But you seem to be running out of space on the 250GB SSD.
With the OS and a single game, that should not be. Windows updates or no.

You have too much other junk on there.
Possibly install WinDirStat, and see what is using up your drive space.

Also, System Restore points. That may be taking up a LOT of space.
