Program Folder Location (x86)

Hi,

When keeping a program folder in a separate partition let's say D: for games and large programs do I need to worry about.

"program files"
"Program files (x86)"

Normally I don't worry about changing where I install programs and games etc but becomes a pain on fresh os install.

Thanks

So it's fine to have one folder called "programs" on my : D partition and install the bigger programs there? I have read various things about programs conflicting?

You can call it what you want and the sub-folders that the games / applications would install to would not be compromised.

As long as you do not try and rename the folders you have noted on your C drive you will be fine
