Hi,

So I just built a new desktop and it has a 128 gb ssd and a separate 1 terabyte hard drive. The problem is that 60 gb of the ssd is already being used and I think it is due to the programs that I am installing onto my desktop. I would like to install everything and keep everything on my hard drive because it has an ample amount of space. I am unfortunately using windows 8. Is it possible to keep the things that would normally go in my c: such as program files on my hard drive instead of ssd? Thanks in advance!

You can specify during program installations where you want the program to be installed.

And before you ask, no, you can't just drag existing files from the Program Files folder and drop them onto the HDD. Unfortunately, you're going to have to uninstall the programs you don't want on the SSD and reinstall to the HDD.
