[SOLVED] Building Laptop with SSD and HDD

[okrobie]

I doubt if it is as simple as it seems. OK, I have the drives installed and Win 10 on the SSD and absolutely nothing on the 1 Tb HDD. I would like to split up the windows installation so I have the "Users" folder over on the HDD. What do I need to do to make this happen "elegantly" In other words, if possible, I would like the user folder to appear in the same place it always has in "File Explorer" Am I hoping for too much? Thanks, Jim

Don't do that.
Some things require that the /Users/ folder be on the same drive or partition as Windows.

What you CAN do is relocate the Libraries and your user data. Doc/Music/Photo/etc.

Ahhh... I knew that there would be a trick to it. Now can I move the "Username" folder or just it's contents?

Just relocate the contents. Don't try to force the default /User/okrobie/ folder to be elsewhere.

Create a top level folder on the HDD. Call it MyStuff
Subfolders of that - MyDocs, MyPics, MyVideos, etc.

In the Library,
Properties
Location
Select the relevant folder on the HDD, and Move.

In your browser(s), you can also designate a location on the HDD to default to.
