Win 10 dual drives

[murrayotl]

Hi,
I don't know if this is a problem or not. When moving folders and files to new D:\ 1TB HDD I created 2 different file locations
1 was for example D:\Users\Name\ Music under This PC
2 was D:\Name\Music in My Library
Is this right? Or should both folders have the same location?

Also those files I moved from C:\SSD to D:\HDD still left those Folders in C:\Users\Name

Thank You, Newbie

Here is how to properly relocate your Libraries:

Thank You or your answer!
I did that and I now how My Library folders locations as D:\Name\ Documents etc.
But under "This PC" I have Library folders with D:\Users\Name\Documents etc
Is this right? I have read an article that these folders should all be under one location of D:\Name\Documents etc.
Is the changing of locations in Settings>System>Storage>This PC >D:\ creating the different folder locations?
Are the folders still in C:\Users\Name\Documents etc. still active only for manual file assignment?
Thanks Again Newbie John

If you redirect it to the D drive, they can live under whatever top level folder you wish.

Mine are:
D:\MyStuff\Documents
D:\MyStuff\Music
D:\MyStuff\Video
etc.....

I'm confused with the locations.
Should there be 2 locations in D:\ for Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures?
Can they all be tied to 1 location? Either D:\Users\Name\ Folder or D:\Name\Folder?

Open Win Explorer
Right click on Documents

Pictures D:\JM
Video D:\JM
Downloads D:\Users
My Library
Documents - Documents (D:\JM)
Music- Music (D:\JM)
Pictures - Pictures but has a sub folder Pictures - D:\JM

I think you're OK. Save a file in Documents. Then go to the D drive an see if you see it there.
