Want to store all my documents, pictures, videos, downloads etc on the HDD and not the SSD

Unsure how to go about doing this though? :confused:

Its only me on the PC but I cant seem to find the options on how to do this.

Thanks in advance

right click on the folder you want to move, click location and then change it

The option to set the location of the My Documents folder exists under the properties, it's a bit tricky to get, go to Start -> Documents, expand the Libraries/Documents tree, and right click on My Documents, select properties and then the Location tab, the value can be changed there, do the same for My Music, My Pictures and My Videos.

Also make sure whatever browser or download software you use, is set to put the downloads in your designated folder. They usually install to the default Download folder which is kinda annoying if like me you reinstall and forget all about it.
