Im getting an ssd soon, and i just want to have windows and a few programs/games on there, but i dont know how to keep all the rest of my program files on my hdd.
if someone could link me to a easy to follow guide, i generally will mess around till i get it to work but if i mess up i have to download another 600gb of data, i don't wanna deal with that.
Im not sure if this is possible, but if anyone has a solution that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance

What I did was install steam and steamapps into my hard drive as an Archive, then the games that you play: you move into you are SSD and change where steam looks for games. When you finish playing that game, you can just archive it into HDD and take it out later, kind of like a physical libary
