Do I need the Program Files folders to install programs in a partition?

[Mochaccino3]

Hey! So the title pretty much says it all... Do I need those folders? Is there any way to install programs in that partition without those folders? Thanks for reading, I'm sure y'all can help me.

You can just make folder in the partition called Program Files and put programs in there if you want. No need to try to move the folders on C

You can install applications in any folder, on any drive.
It does not need to be called "Program Files".
