How to move Users folder in Windows 7 to another drive in order to save space in SSD main drive? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
Its very simple. I do this all the time.
You need to create a Directory Junction. First copy the C:\Users directory to the 1 TB drive (lets say E:\). Don't forget all the hidden folders and files. Then delete the C:\Users directory. Then run the command:
mklink c:\users E:\Users /j
from an Administrator command prompt. This will create a pointer to the folder in the new location and Windows and any programs will think everything is in the same place it always was. I do this all the time moving games out of the Program Files directory.
