Hi! A friend's mom helped me build my PC and set up the OS. She made a partition of 20% of my 1TB hard drive and explained me that the inner part of the hard drive spins faster (I don't know if that's true, I just let her do the thing) and that I should install games and such since it will be read faster there. However, that's not my problem. So I have the main partition where my OS is and everything is neat, in the other partition I only have 3 folders, "WpSystem", "WindowsApps" and a user folder with libraries inside. So I want to move programs that are originally installed in the main partition Program Files to that partition, and the question is, can I just create the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders there? I know they're for separating 64-bit programs from 32-bit programs, that doesn't sound special, is it? Also, how can I transfer programs? Do I just simply move the file the program made there and it'll keep working? Or do you recommend reinstalling and tell the setup to install it in the other partition? I'm a rookie on this stuff, so please help :p

Actually that outer part is faster. Moving installed programs will not match up with registry and not operate correctly if at all. You need to install the programs on second partition.
