My brother just installed a solid state drive onto my computer. All of my games kept downloading to C (which was full). It was driving me up the wall until I finally found this video. Everything works great now! Thank you so much!
Naooooo Go to settings - storage - change where new content is being saved - then apply to a different hard drive of you choice THIS IS EASIER If you don’t see your hard drive the make sure it is under This PC in the file explorer
Thats an easy option but not your best. 1. Only saves new content but does not move the old ones to free up space, 2. Does not have desktop or downoads, so any file you drag to your desktop will be stored on C drive 3. Windows sorts where to put those files by extension, if it finds one it cant determine, It goes to C drive downloads 4. Does not move existing files
I did this and it was still saving to m SSD and not my HD, which is the reason I found this video. just changing where new content is being saved actually didnt work on my PC at all.
yeah thats what i thought too but video games (which was the reason i even needed to switch download locations) was never listed as an option to move in the "quicker" way
Thanks to this video, I get 0.01 gigabytes free of (My full gigabytes) by watching for just 1 minute and 53 seconds! Thank you so much, you SAVED my PC!!
Thank you so much. I've just installed a new hard drive into my gaming pc and didn't know what to do. You made the instructions very clear and very easy to follow. Thank you
You can also click on for example desktop,then properties,under location tab swap C: to D: Also you need to have the same user on the D drive,so just rename a new folder to your username on the C drive,but you have to make them identical Then windows will ask you if you want the files moved after you clicked apply
Brilliant, After speaking with Microsoft all day and letting them try and sort this problem out for me. They said default setting couldn't be changed ,now I've sorted it out myself with your help. Thanks.
It works but also make sure if you downloading some stuff on browser like chrome. Go to settings /download and set your directory to the new download folder there. That way the files you downloaded goes there instead on the Default C:drive download.
Just go to storage settings then where it says new storage settings it says change where new content is saved and just change them all to whatever you are using
@@asimp2359 better translation im having the same problem i have 2 disks, C and D. all my stuff is automatically going in a weird folder that always makes itself even when i delete it called gghgggg and i dont want it that way i want it in C:Downloads any help?
thank you so much for this. I was scared when I saw a 9min video but this is VEEEERY simple. so now when I drag large files to my desktop from other devices, it goes to (D:) instead of my SSD (C:)
Ty so much i was looking for this type of video on how to switch the storage locations,and then i found this! Thank you for making this video it really helped me a lot!
I'm confused for example I download a fanmade game on Google. I have my downloads connected to my DRIVE but when I go to my PC storage on settings because my C is 250gb/250gb the games are there TAKING STORAGE. WHY!? i can only find the game on my DRIVE Storage on download folder but its still takes Storage on my C!?
my man thank you so much ive been so angry at my pc for 2-3 years now because it was max space and i couldnt download games but thankfully now i can and i thank you so much
I havent fully whatched the vid yet, but i just want to comment how your accent is like you keep switching between african, southern, and australian all at the same time, and i kinda find it funny lol
yeah i had to do this because i was installing a huge mod for gta v but my windows drive has 5 gb left and the mod is over 11gb, tysm for this bro. i am tired of just moving some places to a other drive for space to move it again man ty.
I mistakely changed paths of downloads folder and picture folder at single location and now i have trouble to separate them,please help me I want to separate them. IF IM GOING TO CHANGE PATH of one of them then it changes the path of second also automatically PLZ PLZ PLZ HELP ME
Good job bro. I am wondering why you don't have many subscribers. Consider imitating kevin stratvert, his communication skill is what made his content widespread.
I did everything you did and everything is changed but why when I go on my Local Disk it still says “c”? Is it just bugged or it shows that but is using my other D disk space?
hey can anyone help me.. i accidentally just typed D:\ and now it's getting an error, keeps warning me "failed to build the list of regular subdirectories under access is denied" when I want to move it somewhere else. does anyone have a solution for this?
Thank you that helped alot! The pc I got for some reason directed all of downloads to a the c drive which 114 gb and my local G drive is 1tb lol but thank you again
i need help getting the docs in the folder pls help it says cant move the folder because there is a folder in the same location that cant be redirected access denied.
This helped alot bro i just got a new PC and it only had 256 GB SSD + 1TB HDD and every time i downloaded anything it automaticly put it in the SSD drive < !
I tried opening document, downloads and desktop in different locations on my c drive including the users folder but theres no location advanced settings anywhere :(
Phew!! Really, Thank you so much for your advice. My C drive no more in RED colour. :D I give you a thumbs up and subscribed to your channel. Well Done!!! Thank you again
at first, this seemed like it wouldn't work but I did it anyways cause I my pc had nothing on it and I had a backup version of windows and I didn't want everything I download to be on my SSD I wanted to save my SSD for video games and it actually worked
Thank you so much brother! I've been frustrated for an hour trynna figure this out. You explained it so quickly and easily. Thanks again!

This is a game changer my chrome would always download files to my c drive I did what u said and it goes to my D drive which is a lot more better
my storage folder says my pc, but when I download games it still saves on C drive instead of my D
same here. do you solved that now?
Mohd Azizi Borhan No, I have to manually type it
Same here
Just go to storage settings then where it says new storage settings it says change where new content is saved and just change them all to whatever you are using
