Recommended location for 'Programs' folder
OK, so I just got through identifying that my 128GB SSD c:/ drive is failing and I'm waiting on HP shipping me a replacement.
When I opted to go with an SSD for my HP Z Book G2 I didn't accurately factor the disk cost of Windows 10 Pro and my 40+ various applications. I ended up with only about 12GB of free space on that drive and had already successfully installed and run several apps from a 'Programs' folder I created on my 'E' drive - a 1TB HDD.
So, when I install the replacement SSD I ideally want to install/run pretty much all programs (except MS Office 2010 and AutoCAD Lt) on my 'E' drive. I had done a bit of research on this issue and on MS forums in particular (yeah .... I know) found various 'statements' that this is not recommended. Anyone care to put some solid reasoning or evidence forward?
I'm just really wanting to make an informed decision on doing this. Thanks!
