Dual Drives and Junctions

[murrayotl]

Hello,
I have a dual drive C:\ 256GB SSD and D:\ 1TB HDD. In Windows 10 Settings > System > Backup , I changed and saved Library Folders to D:\. In "This PC " User folder I changed everything to D:\ except Roaming and Searches.

Do I need to make Junctions from C:\ to D:\ on all moved folders?
Then any Downloads, Documents, Music, Pictures,Videos, etc. go straight to D:\ the storage drive?


Also in Settings > System > Apps and Features > I can't Modify or change any installed Apps to D:\

Any help or Guidance would be Greatly Appreciated!! Little on the Noob side with Dual Drives.

Thank You,
John

Here is what and how you actually need to do:
