How to use new PC with a small SSD and a large HDD
My new Windows 10 v. Home 1909 desktop has a 128 GB SSD (C drive) and a 1TB internal HDD (D drive). If I understand correctly the OS pc boots in the SSD and all current Programs and Programs (x86) files are in the C drive. The C drive is already more than half full and I have not yet installed a number of programs that I want on the new pc. I have been told that even if install a new program to the D drive ( when given the option) it may not function properly because the support files for the program are placed in the C drive, and the .exe file is in the D drive . To conserve storage space on the C drive a friend configured settings to store all new apps, videos, music, photos and documents in the D drive.
However the space hogs will be the several programs I want to install but wonder what if anything can be done to get the programs files once on the D drive to load and function from the D drive.
Would like opinions and suggestions on whether it is possible to run newly installed programs from the non OS D drive with causing Windows 10 issues
