Help moving User Directory back to primary OS SSD drive from data HDD
I surrender...
Can someone please direct me to a good tutorial, thread or provide instructions on how to move my User Directory currently on my HDD data secondary (D:) drive to my SSD/OS/boot primary (C:) drive?
Last year facing WIN10 upgrades, I bought a new, clean Lenovo H50 i7 WIN10 machine for the family's primary machine and platform to allocate 5 family member accounts, ties to WIN Phones, Family security, monitoring, music, etc. To optimize, I added a Samsung 850 Pro SSD, clean installed WIN10 on the SSD and directed OS/boot/program files to that drive, while following many threads to wipe the HDD and move the User Directory and all data (docs, photos, music) to the 1TB HDD. It's been a freaking nightmare. Many of the WIN10 upgrade builds create some instability or malfunction of I/O, UI or account disruption. I have 5 family members (Users) with Microsoft.com accounts/authorizations. The last build again broke the computer so we cannot "switch" between users - the computer locks somewhere in the black screen or background and will only re-enter the new user if the machine is "hard" shutdown/restarted, Mail & Edge close randomly and Settings is inop. The admin level diagnostics will not even run... I cannot "Restore" because I have the User directory on different drive. I'm feed-up. I don't want a solution to this one iteration. I'm done being home IT officer. Just let help me move the User Directory to the way Big Softie designed because their engineers obviously can't handle this optimization when pushing out changes...
Thank you in advance and for allowing me to vent.
