How to put only your OS on an SSD?

Jair Paalman · Sep 29, 2015

I'm planning to buy a new computer with a small 32 GB SSD and a 1 TB HDD. My friend's computer has the same setup and his OS is on his SSD while everything else is on the HDD. He recieved it that way but I'm going to build a computer myself so I have to do that manually. Is there an easy way to do this? I mean without having to edit the registry to move every folder except windows in the C drive away.

Save your money for a little longer and buy a 120GB + SSD. Anything smaller than that today is just asking for headaches.

That's not an answer to my question. Even if I did get a larger SSD, it wouldn't be enough. I use a lot of mermory for programs, games and personal files. It wouldn't be enough for that. I'm really looking for a way to only have the OS on the SSD. It works fine at my friend's laptop, so it should be possible.

You can't GUARANTEE that nothing else will be installed on C: You can manually choose where to install things but that doesn't prevent use of C: .
You can point your libraries to other locations and move the TEMP and TMP environment variables to minimize the use of C: But windows updates, and other things will continue to use C:. Your best bet is to buy a reasonable sized disk and be vigilant.

I think I'm going to wait for a better answer, since that's exactly what I don't want to do. There is a way, I just need to find it. Anyways, still thanks for trying to help me out.
