Moving user folders to HDD - what is the best and simplest method
I need to reinstall Win10 as I keep getting BSOD since the recent update, but want to replicate my current document library heirarchy which is saved on the HDD.
- SSD contains OS, plus c:\users\UserABC > (Folder: Documents)
- HDD d:\users\UserABC > (Folders: Desktop; Downloads; Music; Pictures; Videos)
I dont want to format the D: drive, but simply reinstall Win on C: and then have the user folders (Desktop; Downloads; Music; Pictures; Videos) point to the existing ones on D: I.e. When I look at Libraries, I want to see all the folders and when copying files to them, the files will save to the appropriate drive.
What is the best way to do this? I think when I initially set this up, there was a complex process done in audit mode / create an unattended answer file while Windows was being installed. (which I think was a tutorial on this site)
I found this link will this achieve a similar outcome or is there a better approach?
