SSD & HDD making the HDD primary storage

[omnilicious]

Installed W8 on the SSD, followed:

to activate the HDD. Now, I can download stuff to the HDD, but that same stuff just installs on the SSD. Not to mention the HDD doesn't have windows on it (probably why nothing installs on it).

I'm unclear on how to actually have a legal copy of windows on both, boot with the SSD and run off the HDD.

You should put the OS on the SSD. And MS Office. Then use HDD for everything else. If things are installing on the SSD is it cuz of your save location?

You can't have a legal copy of Windows on SSD and HDD. You only need it on one or the other.

How do you make the HDD the default then. Thats basically what I am trying to do so that the SSD does not get filled up daily with nonsense, just the few things I want to load quickly.

Do a google search for "how to change default save location in windows 8". I still use Windows 7, so not sure what's different in 8.
