Just bought a new computer and it comes with an SSD and HDD. The SSD was already configured and windows installed on it. I do not mind windows being installed on it as it makes it faster. I had to configure the HDD myself because they didn't when they set it up. And now when I install anything it goes straight to the SDD when i would like it to go to the HDD now that it is setup. The SSD is set as the C drive and i think that that is the problem. Can someone help me switch the default installation drive?

You have to simply choose the hard drive when you install a program. Whenever you install a program, under advanced options (or if you choose "custom installation" instead of "express") it should allow you to choose the installation location, in which you can choose the HDD, create a folder, and install it there. Changing the C drive to the HDD would basically require an OS reinstallation.
