As the title states, I have a SSD (850 evo 256gb) and a 1TB HDD. I mistakenly played with program files from the SSD (C/ drive) and copied them directly into the HDD (D/ Drive). I found it easiest to do a fresh install of windows. I watched a video on youtube saying that doing a regedit would make it so I didn't have to change the path of downloaded programs and thought it was great... until programs stopped working that I had installed previously, especially dragon age: inquisition through origin. Decide I've probably messed things up somehow and have since done another fresh install since I didn't have any saved documents or anything on there anyway.
I now have an absolutely clean build of windows. My goal is to get all programs to be installed onto the HDD and never really use the SSD for anything because I generally don't have any extensive storage needs. My gaming isn't serious enough to really warrant installing games on the SSD (I wouldn't think). If there are any programs that you recommend me installing on the SSD let me know. I use CAD for school but ATM nothing serious in terms of rendering. I do not use Photoshop, but I'l need an alternative to Lightroom soon. Would you recommend installing those on the SSD?
Questions to be answered in case it wasn't clear:
-Best way to keep program files organized? Should I use registry edit since I have a fresh build and wont mess things up that are already installed or just do every program manually?
-Which programs do you actually recommend installing on the SSD, and if there are any, will installing it after using the regedit to change the installation path mess things up?
Thank you in advance!
