Complete newbie question
Hi everyone,
Bought myself a new laptop last week with Windows 7 (64 bit) pre-installed. As I've jumped from Windows XP to 7, missing out Vista I'm still finding my way around, so I have a question which is probably so stupid, I apologise in advance!
Windows 7 was pre-installed. I have 2 HDDs showing "OS(C)" 58gb and "local disk (D)" 397gb. Having searched for the answer to my question I believe that Windows has been installed to a partition? My question/problem is that all the programs already installed are on C: and any new programs I want to add are also defaulting to install there, therefore my bigger HDD is completely blank expect one file "msdia80.dll". Is this going to cause me problems? Should I move things to D: while I haven't got much installed? How do I default installation to the D drive?
On my old PC with XP I just had 1 HDD where everything lived, I never bothered with partitions.
