how to move the user folders from one partition (:C) to another partition (:D)?


Recommended Posts

Probably this question has already been done but I can not find the thread.

 

I have a notebook with Windows 10 that has two partitions: C (OS) and D (DATA). 

 

All the user folders (downloads, documents, pictures, etc.) are in the partition: C.

 

I would like to move the folders from C (SSD) to D (HDD).

 

How can I do it?

Create the folder in the D:\ drive and name it what it's name is on the ssd drive. Then move then move the contents to the new folder , see the image below . After you do this, you can delete the folders on your ssd. Make sure that your paths and file assocuitions follow like if you change your music folder all of your tracks will have to be redone.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, yesterday I moved my user folders (as I usually did with windows XP) without first creating folders as you have suggested me.

 

Now I have the folders which are all called D and I can not rename them or to move them to new user folders I created in DATI (Documents, Downloads, etc.)

 

Any suggestion?

I usually use libraries for this purpose now. Much more reliable. I have, in the past experienced certain programs completely refusing to install unless the documents folder was in C:\Users\.

If you have a restore point before you did this use it. If you right click on one does it give you a choice to restore the previous location?

Hello,

 

Have you tried clicking on the Location for each item, changing it back to the original path, creating the correct folders on your D:\ drive, and then switching the location over again?

    • They need to get rid of the thousand that no one is buying.
    • The first generation of iPhones had Java 2 Mobile Edition (J2ME) support (ok ok JVM support) which was the same framework/version that Android and BlackBerry and PalmOS all ran on (in addition to their Linux roots) which increased the prospect of third-party developer integrations on the platform. The way in which Apple was able to veer in a different direction with their iOS (hint: native Objective-C) than how Android and BlackBerry evolved (hint: Java) is part of their engineering legacy. The performance hit is so pronounced that even Android is reengineered for Kotlin rather than traditional Java programming.
    • So I have a confession to make : I've used PCs mostly with Intel processors for over 30 years, I've been a developer for 12 years, chosen Intel PCs for my dev team at work, managed those PCs with MS Intune... And I still have no idea what "vPro" is or why I would need it.
