Windows on SSD, everything else on HDD?

PCNIGHTMARE · Jun 7, 2016

Hi, is it possible to have windows and all of its programs on SSD so its really fast loading, but music and movies and programs like deluge and everything else i download on HDD?
Lets say download Deluge and i download a movie (sue me

) can the program deluge and any future programs be downloaded straight to HDD instead of SSD

Hello... "Custom" install and "Save as" will direct APP installs and DL files to your extra drives and folders on them.
1) create the Folders "Program files", "Program files (x86)", "Documents", "Temp" and ? on the extra drives to mirror the OS drive folders, for easy organization.

yes. When you install any program you should have an option during the install on where to actually install it. The default is always the C: drive where Windows lives but you can always choose somewhere else.

For programs that download other files you usually (but not always, its up to the individual program) have an option within that program to tell it where to save any downloaded files too. Again the default will be somewhere on the C drive but you can change it to anywhere if it lets you change it at all.
