Hello, I recently ordered a bundle from overclockers that came with a 120gb storage thingy and a 1tb storage thingy.

Firstly how do I alternate them?

Secondly, is there a correct way to use them? Like, I heard you should use the smaller one to put the important stuff on then use the bigger one for you files and games and stuff, well Ive only been using the 120 one and its full of windows 8.1 rubbish and its only got like 18gb left so the memory loss thingy is getting frustrated so I need to use the bigger one...right?

Thirdly, if I switch to the 1tb, will it still recognise stuff like games installed on the 120gb one?
 
Ok cool. But the computer recognises both at the same time right? Like you said I could install steam on one and a steam game on another and it would recognise both at the same time? Does that make sense?
 
it wont let me put stuff in the local disk D, and if it does it doesnt have a program files thing, I have to do that all myself?

and how would I go about moving stuff over safely? Like steam games

How about Uplay? I got two games with my overclockers bundle but when I change the file location to the other drive it wont let me

and about moving the steam folder, I know where to change it in the steam client, but where to? How many of the folders do I need to copy over? What is the exact path I need to use? I know how to navigate to the games Im 'steam-savvy', im just not sure if it all needs to go over tho, I would feel better if all my steam stuff was on the other drive
