So when I built my PC I installed Windows on to a SSD 240gb for faster boot times but after backing up my photos from my phone a couple times it has went down to 5gb. So I was wondering if there was a way to get the download, Pictures, and Videos folder from Disc /C to my 2tb internal hard drive.

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 It will look a bit different.
Go to File Explorer. On the left find This PC
Drop down to reveal Music/Pictures/Videos etc...
Right-click Music/Pictures/Video - Go to Properties > Location tab at the top
Then chose Move
Select your 2TB drive and right click and make a new folder for Music. For example "Music New"
Click on that folder and chose Select Folder

Your Music will be moved across from your 240GB SSD to your 2TB HDD. This basically changes the location of where these files are stored. From now on any files you put in Music will be on the 2TB in the "Music New" folder.

Repeat this for...
