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,
- Create a new folder on your HDD, (assuming name= X )
- Go to
C:\Users\<Profile>
- Right click on Desktop
- Select properties
- Click on location tab
- Set location to X
- 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
