How to move programs from SSD to secondary hard drive

The capacity of my SSD is compromised and I would like to move programs to the secondary hard drive. I also would like to make the secondary the default drive for all my photographs. Are there any tutorials to which I can be directed for assistance. Thanks

Changing the default location of your "Users" folder from your SSD to your HDD is a simple way to keep all your programs on your SSD, and all of the data in your Users folder(Downloads, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc) on the hard drive. Read this, it should walk you through it.

User Folders - Change Default Location

I wouldn't bother changing anything in the OS, for stability sake. No one is forcing you to store your photos and user created data on your SSD. You could make a folder on your data drive called Photos, and then create a library for it. Very few people store documents and such on their system volume (c drive) anymore. You could easily move that type of data without reconfiguring anything. Then see how much free space you have on your SSD.

As for your first line, when you say compromised, that usually means hacked or damaged. If this is the case, then you may have a bigger issue. If you just meant that the drive was filling up, then my first paragraph should help.

I want to thank everyone for the response. There is a lot of helpful information. In the next few days I will make some changes to my system. I may not try those changes on my own and do have a friend who is very knowledgeable. If I still have need for help I will be back in touch with the forum members.

Good luck with your future upgrade/install fawmaine
