Updating my HDD

[flogit]

H,Good day to all.
I'm in the process of adding an extra hdd into my desktop running windows 7 home premium.
Been looking at a 2tb £70.00p,My question is if I do decide on this plan My intention is to put all my doc's music photos etc on this new drive and just keep the existing C for the operating system and all programs.
Will I be able to access the items ie:my documents through the same method as I'm doing now,Click on the orb rb: then select what I req from the libraries?.
Would that be possible or is it going to be more complicated?.
I would appreciate some advice on this before I go ahead and purchase this new drive.

Many thanks.

You may if you like name the extra hdd as "My Documents" and put it as the top Sub-Folder in Libraries\Documents. If you are using an e-Mail Client to receive e-Mail then you could also keep your Mail Storage in it.

Good luck.

You may include your new harddrive as storage by adding it as a folder under the Music Library > Properties > Include a folder.

You may also look in to: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/87555-user-profile-change-default-location.html but i think that would be over the top as solution.

Thanks both for the info.Regarding my link for the new 2tb hdd its a 5000rpm would it be to my advantage to go for a faster speed maybe a 72000rpm?
Thanks.

7200 is always faster than 5000.
