Okay, so my pc has an SSD and a hard drive. I installed window on my SSD so it could be faster. But ever since I did that my default hard drive has been the SSD. And everything is downloading to my SSD and not my hard drive. How do I make it where Everything downloads to the hard drive?

(Disk C is my SSD and disk F is my hard drive)

You do NOT want "everything" to default install on the HDD.
Trying to force it to be that way ends in tears, and a slow system.
