windows 10, how store programs on my hdd instead of my ssd

[dantranvan15]

well the problem is described in the title, how do i store programs and files on my hdd instead of my ssd. I have windows 10. I dont want to redirect everything everytime i download from my ssd which runs the OS. And some programs i download, such as spotify didnt have the option to use my hdd to store. i couldnt redirect it when i downloaded it.

For one, you can go to my computer, right click on pictures, music, documents, downloads, select properties and then select location and pick a location on your HDD to store that stuff.

Next, if you install programs, when you get to pick and it says c:\program files(x86)\spotify\ or whatever, change the c:\ to d: or e: or whatever your drive is.

And where did it download and what are you downloading.

both spotify and chrome did the same thing, i couldnt choose to download it to my hdd instead it went immediately to C:\Program Files (x86)

what i did is copy those files to my HDD and deleted the original ones, but i dont really wanna do this to every program who doesnt let me choose where to download the program.

That's installing not downloading. And not every program will let you but most will.

If you mean when you click on a file to download it from the internet from chrome, then you need to select the option shown in this screen

Go to settings, you make have to then click advanced settings at the bottom, they put a check mark as seen above, and you can select the folder where you are downloading to.
