Hello,
I would like to set my disk as a primary.
I have 3 disks:
ExtDisk
SSD (set as primary)
normal disk
I installed my windows on the SSD for faster startup but i would like things to get installed onto the normal disk.
How do i set it to be like the main/primary disk?
Thanks

humm I think the disk you boot up on is the primary one by default.

When you install softwares, they normally ask you where you want to instal it. Just install it on your HDD drive instead of SSD.

Yes they ask you. BUT there are files like lets say roaming that are still on my ssd and are gonna become pretty big overtime(at least thats what happened on my last PC).
And you also have software that automaticly installs to your program files(ssd) and i don't want that
Is it possible to change these things?

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can do that. Those files that get installed on the primary drive is because they are needed for windows.

if you have a little budget, you should try to get a bigger SSD. I have 250 gigs and it's more than enough for my games, adobe CS, autocad etc...
