How to transfer User file in SSD to SSHD?

Van Der Shah · Nov 25, 2014

My SSD is almost full and i noticed my User file was around 80GB and i want to transfer it to another drive which would be my SSHD. How can I transfer the file and also how do I make it permanent in the SSHD so that it would not make another folder in the SSD? Thanks.

What you're talking about here is not only moving the contents of the user folder, but also changing where Windows locates its' users folder at. This is a bit tricky to do, but not impossible. Here's a guide. Use at your own risk, registry editing is always a bit risky to engage in.

Easiest thing to do is move your user file location for My Documents, My Music, My Videos and Downloads to another drive, not the full profile.
If you keep files on your Desktop, move them to My Documents and use shortcuts on the desktop to get to them.

There is a reply here from a moderator on how to do that http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-files/how-to-move-user-folders-to-2nd-drive-in-windows-8/f58029d0-bfcf-4fab-a266-a56f6d9e65b5
