How to relocate "data" on 2nd internal drive, separate from OS drive?
Hi, all:
Seeing this thread, being preoccupied today with work projects, and generally obsessing over the imminent arrival of my first system with dual internal drives, I must ask my next really stupid question:
How do I relocate my data from "My Documents" on the 256GB SSD OS drive on which I assume it will arrive from the factory to the other, internal, data drive (a 2 TB spinner)?
All of my previous and current systems had/have a single hard drive (either a spinner or a SSD, but not both).
So this is new for me.
This will be an OEM box, not an upgrade and not a home-built system.
I assume it will arrive from the factory with "everything" on the SSD (C:\) and "nothing" on the spinner (I guess the HDD will be D:\?).
FWIW the system will have only a single, Admin user account.
Before I get too far down a rabbit hole when it arrives later this week and before I move my "old" data from the old system to the new one, I just need to know how to make sure that I properly locate my data folders (documents, pictures, videos, etc.) on the new system's data HDD, rather than on its OS SSD.
I presume it's not as easy as a mere "drag and drop" of the "My Documents" folder from C:\ to D:\, right?
I have to somehow "point" Windoze to the new, non-default location?
I know, this is a really, really stupid question from an old geezer.
So thanks very much for your patience,:)
