Hey guys, so today I've built my first pc, that's nice and all....

I have installed windows on my ssd, so that automatically became my C:/ drive.
But now I wonder how I make my second drive (HDD) my C:/ drive, but still have windows on my ssd, and also it being a boot drive.

Thanks!

No, you don't do this.
May we assume you are looking to do this because you do not want your SSD to fill up too much?
You want to automagically make everything go to the HDD?

Sorry my bad, shouldn't have explained it using the letter C. That's not exactly what I meant

I apparently chose the root folder of pictures and videos, so now when I click any one of those two, it just shows me my entire D:/ drive... Do you know what to do now? :)

If going to "Set as default" does not work...I am unsure of how to fix this.
