I've seen some videos on how to do this. Two videos showed how to do it the exact same way, but the other added more information that really made me confused.
I figured the SSD was going to be used for boot and HDD for games and programs. Seeing what a pain this is becoming, I'm becoming slightly lost in which order I'm going to be doing things. I need some tech help with what I should be doing to solve my issue.
So I go into CMD and type "regedit."
>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
>SOFTWARE
>Microsoft
>Windows
>CurrentVersion
So I assume anything with C:\ (SSD) is where the program files are located, and I would have to change it to D:\ (HDD) By doing this, I believe any programs installed will be sent by default to the HDD.
This seems all easy and done, but then the guy also said to go somewhere else for x64, and I was like wtf? So instead of going into straight into Microsoft, it went like this:
>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
>SOFTWARE
>Wow6432Node
>Microsoft
>Windows
>CurrentVersion
I really have no idea what the Wow6432Node is. Why is there two places to change program folder directories? In worst case scenario, I really don't want to break anything.
I understand how to cut and paste into HDD, and changing folder directories to D:\ under properties>location. Can someone make this a bit more easy on me, because this is the only thing I'm not understanding so far. I want my storage to be in pristine condition. Help please!
