I don't want files saving on SSD

[niickgreen98]

I currently have a 250gb SSD and a 1TB HDD. I want to keep my SSD as clean as possible with my OS on it. So I'm wondering how i make it so my desktop/download/document etc.. files are saved to my HDD and not my SSD. I know i can manually do it when installing programs but i want my desktop files and what not to save to my SSD.

Can i move my User file from my SSD to my HDD or does that create problems.

Thanks in advance!!

Do NOT move your /User/ folder to the HDD.

Instead, redirect where your Libraries are located. Thusly:
Win 7 & 8: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1834397/ssd-redirecting-static-files.html
Win 8.1 & 10: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2024314/windows-redirecting-folders-drives.html

Pay close attention to the OS version. It makes a difference in how you do it.

And for your applications and a 250GB drive? I'd install them on the SSD.
Having them on the HDD tosses out half the functionality of having the SSD.
