Best way to install windows for ssd?

cu3ed · 7 Sep 2010 at 17:29

I have a intel ssd 80gb with win 64 arriving tomorrow, installing windows onto it, but was wondering about the music/ photo folders etc, I've been finding them very handy, but I won't have enough space for all my music and pictures etc, I have two other f3 tb drives, so was wondering what's the best way to organise things from the start?... Hope that makes sense!

Just move all your documents folders to your other drives, I do this anyway, akes reformatting easier.

You can right click on say "music" and go tot he "location" tab and change to where ever you like.

I seem to remember there being an easier way with dragging a certain folder but I can't remember

Perfectly fine, see mine here, they're on my E:/ instead of C:/Users/Mat

Tried moving but I just seem to create a shortcut to the original folder on the SSD.

Go to start>cu3ed, then right click on each folder you want moving and click properties, go to the location tab, change to where you want (not forgetting to click move) and hey presto!
Simples.

Just repeat for each folder.
