Hello, I just got a new PC and OS is installed into my 240GB SSD. But, literally everything is being downloaded and installed into SSD, filing it up more than half way now, and leaving my 1TB HDD idle and empty. Is there a way to keep the SSD with just the OS/windows, and make the HDD primary? I want to keep all my downloads, files, photos, games mostly on the HDD. Only want some of my most played games onto the SDD.
And can Programs File/ Programs File x86, or Users, be moved to HDD from SSD? I'm a rookie on the information and limits of Storage and Drives, so if anyone can give me some advice or guidance that would be awesome! Thank you for reading
 


Is there no other way? Because when directing to the HDD I usually have to create new folders that are already in the SSD.
