SSD + Data Drive Windows 7

Is it possible to install the Windows system files on a small SSD and have all important folders (C:\Program Files, C:\Users) on a 2TB data drive? I assume this is how one would use an SSD to achieve higher performance


As far as C:\Users is concerned,

  1. Create a new folder on your HDD, (assuming name= X )
  2. Go to C:\Users\<Profile>
  3. Right click on Desktop
  4. Select properties
  5. Click on location tab
  6. Set location to X
  7. Repeat the same for all the folders in C:\Users\<Profile>

For Program Files, let the main Program files folder exist on C: , and create another folder manually on your HDD

Then, when installing programs, select the manually created folder as the installation path
