Disk Mangement Help

[SilentDeath1124]

I recently built a new pc and set the computer to download the OS into the ssd. the problem is that most programs download into the C drive (the ssd) and boot from there. My hdd which is 2 tb is where i would like them to boot from but for some programs i can't so i want to change my hdd drive to my ssd drive (change the letters from E: to C: ). The HDD would be the c drive and the ssd would be the E drive. this way things could work better for me. The only reason why i want this is because my ssd is only 120 gb which i bought mainly for the os. I don't mind deleting things from the HDD cuz it's mostly just games but i don't really want to reinstall the os again. Please help.

Ok..you're thinking about it wrong.

SSD = C. OS and 'some' applications
HDD = E. All other applications and files.

Changing the drive letters around will not give you the results you want. Applications will default to whatever drive Widows boot from.

When you install something, do not let it do the default. That will invariably go to the boot drive....the C.
Instead, choose Custom or Advanced during the install and you choose where it goes. Select a location on the E. The application will install on that particular location.

For Steam games, you can designate multiple locations for where you want things to go.

And see this tutorial for preventing cluttering up the SSD with other things that don't need to be there:
