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?

    • YouTube app is no longer compatible with several iPhones by Taras Buria Google is rolling out a new update for the YouTube app on iOS, and it is bad news for those still using an old iPhone. Starting with version 20.22.1, the latest release in the App Store, YouTube for iPhone now requires iOS 16 and newer. Previously, the app required a device with iOS 15 and newer. The new hardware requirement makes several iPhones incompatible with the latest version of the YouTube app. Those include the iPhone 6S / 6S Plus, iPhone 7 / 7 Plus, and the original iPhone SE. The seventh-generation iPod touch is also no longer compatible. On the iPad side, the update kicks out the second-generation iPad Air and the fourth-generation iPad mini. Although old iPhones can no longer install YouTube version 20.22.1 and newer, old versions continue working just fine. However, going forward, users will not receive new features and improvements. Also, at some point in the future, the app will stop working altogether. Another workaround is to use the web version of the app, but that also provides a limited experience compared to the up-to-date client. Google is not the only service that kicks out old and now unsupported Apple devices. Recently, WhatsApp developers dropped iPhones that cannot run iOS 15.1 or newer. The news is clearly a bummer for those who are still using their old iPhones, which, to Apple's credit, have a solid lifespan (as long as you are happy with the battery life). However, it is also worth keeping in mind that the iPhone 6S series was released almost a decade ago. Having ten years of support is impressive, but it is clearly time to move on. Perhaps my friend with his day-one iPhone 7 Black can finally consider buying something less ancient.
    • Guys have already appeared saying that Windows 11 ruined their lives, stole their bank password, killed their dog, kidnapped their mother and that's why they will never install Windows 11 again.
    • I think they start to use AI in Robots but in very early stage. I think in less than 20 years we will see these movies in real life
    • Uhh... how do you think current robots work? And do I really have to tell you the obvious...? That movies aren't real.
