Best way to move USER folder to another drive?

[dubcat]

I installed Win 10 on to my SSD. I want to have my user directories (documents, downloads, music, etc) on my HDD. I found many different methods to move the user folder but I have no idea what the best way to do it is. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,
Dub

Thanks. That is the method I used too. However, seeing all these other complicated methods on the web lead me to believe that perhaps I had been doing it wrong. Sounds like that is not the case!

Thanks again.

Thanks guys - yeah i just moved the Contacts, Desktop, Downloads, etc. Seems to be working fine.

One thing I do have a concern with is as follows. I had the same setup before. My HDD with the folders as above crashed but the SSD with the OS on it was fine. I could not boot windows (i guess because the user folders were on crashed drive?). Is this working as intended? If so, it seems you really do increase your probability of having to reinstall windows quite significantly by moving those directories to a second drive.
