When you "download" software you are typically using either a web browser, such as Chrome, FireFox, or IE, or a download manager, such as JDownloader. Dependent on the program you are using, you will have to set the default download folder for that program. If you wish to move the default folder for Windows you can look into migrating the entire user folder, depending on your version of Windows, or you can simply change the default option in the software you are using to download.

yes. in every peice of software you own you'll have to point it somewhere else.
for example, steam can be pointed to save to wherever you want it. it by default saves in the same location it's installed. but you can move the default download folder anywhere you want. Same for your web browsers (default download folder is "downloads" found in your C:\users\(username)\downloads folder) torrent and anything else you have. you'll have to point each one to where you ACTUALLY want to save it. then save those settings (typically those settings can be found under a preference menu, or options, or advanced, depending on the program)
