Questions on where to install programs on new PC (SSD or HDD?)
Hi all, I'll be getting a new gaming Desktop PC in a few days time, and I've never had a computer with both a SSD and a HDD (the one I have now is nearly 11 years old! And it's all installed on a single HDD [though a lot of my files are on an External HDD to save room]).
The reason I'm asking this is, as I don't know how modern computers deal with having Windows 10 installed on the SSD, and having programs such as Steam installed on the HDD - or can it be installed on the HDD and still work just as well?
What I mean is, should I install [in particular] Steam - and all my games on Steam - on my 120GB SSD (as it's faster, though it would take up room on there), or do I install Steam + games on my 2TB HDD (where there's loads more room, and it saves space for the SSD to be used purely for Windows 10)?
Also, what about the rest of my programs? I guess the ones that go in c:\Program Files (etc.) - eg. Mozilla Firefox - will have to be installed on the SSD?
Ps. It's a pre-built one, not a custom-made PC
Thanks in advance :)
