Separate drives for programs & data ?
Currently I’m using only a single drive for everything but want to change & use an SSD for the OS & programs and an HDD for my data (documents, photos, etc.). Then I can make an image of the SSD with all the programs and make a separate backup of all my data.
Somewhere I read that making a copy of the C:\ Users folder will make a copy of all my data. That makes sense because a folder with my computer name contains all my data folders such as My Documents & My Photos, However my computer name folder also contains the AppData folder which contains the Local & Roaming folders which contain all sorts of program folders & files.
If I do a fresh install of Windows & programs on the SSD, where does the AppData folder end up? Does it stay on the SSD with the programs or end up on the HDD with the data in the Users folder?
