URGENT: DEVESTATING: Storage Drive Locations:(EXTREMELY ADVANCED USERS ONLY: Because if you are not very advanced I most likely already know about it.

[Nicolas123_4]

Here are what I've sent to others. Including a geek squad agent, but here is what I wrote because it has a lot of information you'll need.


I have the correct installer, and it is to install and using Windows 10 Home, but currently unactivated.


I downloaded Steam and the games on the d drive. But when I play the games, my app data, "users" folder files are always saved to C: USERS "USERNAME"

I think this is because that is where windows is installed. READ BELOW:


WHat I am trying to do here is:



BOOT:

NVME M.2 SSD 256GB = BOOT DRIVE WINDOWS ONLY, plus one or two programs like video editors and need for speed games like csgo. These are programs I can do manually by choosing the location since there would only be a couple and not often will I do this.


Then there is my MAIN STORAGE DRIVE:

Sata NAND SSD 1tb: My everything else drive. For downloads like games, pictures, videos, not critical programs like an alarm clock or netflix, etc. This would probably be labeled d drive because my boot drive is forced as c drive and cannot be changed, I've tried it before.


Now I do not know this, but if I can be told this will be the quickest easiest fastest way for all my problems to be fixed and I will be so very thankfully grateful: The question is: If [THESE FILES: ==>]"""app data folder's and files, the "program files" , and "users" folder files, ETC (Which are installed onto my nvme because thats were windows is installed)""":==> are going to end up making large game files and game saves and program app data and stuff, are going to use up my boot drive space/data? As I also want to keep around no more than 60% used to keep speed.

1. You:
   
   I desperately need your help.
   
   
2. You:
   
   But I am sure it will be a hard one.
   
   
3. You:
   
   I am not a computer noob, I built my pc yesterday!
   
   
4. You:
   
   I have two drives.
   
   
5. You:
   
   They are both ssd's
   
   
6. You:
   
   One is an NVME m.2, and teh other is a sata NAND
   
   
7. You:
   
   I have been trying to use them for games and other things.
   
   
8. You:
   
   My nvme is my boot drive, as it is ultra fast and very high performing.
   
   
9. You:
   
   It is 256gb
   
   
10. You:
    
    my main storage is a sata nand 1tb ssd.
    
    
11. You:
    
    They are correctly installed.
    
    
12. You:
    
    I installed windows onto my nvme.
    
    
13. You:
    
    All was good.
    
    
14. You:
    
    Then I initiated and allocated my other main drive.
    
    
15. You:
    
    All is good.
    
    
16. You:
    
    But The program files and appdata and users are stored on my boot/nvme drive.
    
    
17. You:
    
    SO When I downloaded steam onto my main 1tb drive.
    
    
18. You:
    
    I installed games.
    
    
19. You:
    
    I checked and saw that app data and users and other files and data were auto installed onto the nvme.
    
    
20. You:
    
    But I do not want this because over time it will use up all my storage.
    
    
21. You:
    
    The only reason I would use the nvme boot drive for something else is for high advanced and very important programs.
    
    
22. You:
    
    Like a high performing game and anti virus and videoeditors, etc.
    
    
23. You:
    
    I have tried online things like changing regedit and directory locations of the files.
    
    
24. [COLOR=rgba(85, 85, 90, 1)]10:39 a.m.[/COLOR]
    You:
    
    Like changing desktop to d drive, and like program files (x86) to the other drive.
    
    
25. You:
    
    I want ALL files on my main drive to stay on my main drive, I do not want app data that is on my main drive to be stored on my boot drive.
    
    
26. You:
    
    The only way I have found to do this is by installing windows to my main drive, but then I cannot move my boot drive files from the main drive to my boot drive; without paying wasted money for a program that probably will not work.

    NOTE: I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THESE BUBBLES.
