Hello, So i recently built a PC. I just filled up my 250 gb ssd with games and now I dont know how to switch over to my mechanical hard drive. Whenever I try to get games it just says i dont have enough space. How do i make it so that things download to my regular hard drive. If what im saying doesnt make sense let me know and Ill try to reword it or add pictures. until then I cant play any games because I have no space to save

This did not help because for whatever reason the drive does not show up in my file explorer. so I can not move anything into it. But on the properties of the drive it says its working. It just doesnt show up in the file explorer

Then you have a different issue.
Does it appear in Disk Management? Probably.
If so, in the bottom portion of that window, right click on it.
What options does it give you?
