I would write some relevant parts here, but I think you'd get a better idea from reading the whole thing. I wrote this a few years ago:

It's meant for people who have a SSD and HDD in a laptop, but it applies just the same on a desktop computer.

no, there is no problem with that config. Even hard linked some games folders (update cache, screenshots, replays) to HDD
I used it for few years until recently switched to a large enough SSD.

No, just because you move your documents folder to the SSD has absolutely nothing to do with drivers (which is stored in Windows/System32 folder).

As long as windows is installed and booted form the SSD, then it will store drivers to the SSD.

This was written especially for you:

Win 7 & 8: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1834397/ssd-redirecting-static-files.html
Win 8.1 & 10: http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2024314/windows-redirecting-folders-drives.html

However...Do NOT move your 'Desktop'. That is part of your /User/ attributes.
Bad things will happen if you move that.
