    How to make your HDD your main drive?

    Hey guys,

    I recently build a new computer and installed windows 8 and wow on my SSD. I am about to connect my HDD and would like to know how to make it my main drive where everything gets automatically downloaded into.

    Thanks

    You set your download folder location in your browser settings.

    how do you download those? Just move them over and set target locations for download in your respective programs.

    There are a few different ways to do this.

    Example 1:
    To do this go to the Users directory and right click the folder -->properties-->location tab-->Move

    See image below:

    When you click on Move, it will ask you for the target location. As an example in this case, create a new Users folder on the 2nd drive and target each user folder to this new location and it will be moved here.

    *Edit: This was done on a Windows 7 machine, but the process should still work the same for W8.
