Can't Download Squad

Hello! i just bought my first gaming PC. Saved up for a long time and just purchased the only two games i really wanted. Escape from Tarkov and Squad. I have EFT downloaded and went to download squad off steam when i noticed-
"Disk Space Required: 37226 MB"
"Disk Space Available: 19026MB"
This is very unfortunate as the only things i have installed really are EFT and FL Studio (Trial version)
I'm not sure why i just spent $1200 on a gaming PC that can only hold one game at a time, but it seem's thats what ive done. I would appreciate help in finding out if this is just how this computer comes (Dell Inspiron 5680) or if theres something wrong with it because to be completley honest i haven't got a clue about computers and i dont know whats going on. either way im dissapointed but hopefully someone can help answer my question and offer a solution like if i can buy an external hard drive or something.
Thanks.

Open Windows Explorer and check to see how many hard drives you have installed. I'm betting you have two. One 128GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.

Steam is probably set up to download and use your C: Drive (the SSD) and it should be set up to download and use the D: Drive (the 1TB HDD). If this is the case, then take a look at this link to see how to make the change.

I think that fixed it, thank you so much! I had moved Escape from tarkov over to the D: Drive and it wasn't deleted but i couldnt play it, i thought i would just leave it in there until i could afford an external hard drive but Squad is downloading to my PC as we speak. Strange that EFT can only be played in my C: Drive but that isnt too big of a deal now that all my games will go to the 1TB drive. Perhaps if i redownload escape from tarkov to my D Drive? or i could make the D drive the primary drive or something? i dont know but regardless thanks a lot man you saved the day and saved me a lot of money.
