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?

    • Of course the sales are bad. Who even asked for a thinner phone with way less battery? Lightness? It's still a giant brick, it's just a thinner giant brick. It makes no sense at all. Making folding phones thinner, now that does make sense. Because when folded, the thinner it is unfolded, the more usable and pocketable it is when folded. You already expect worse battery at expense of actually being more pocketable. Galaxy Flip, when folded is half the size of S Ultra models and about as thick. That does make a big difference when fitting it in a pocket. But the phone that's as big as Ultra, making it thinner, you don't really solve anything, it's still a giant slab that barely fits into a pocket. All the "Mini" phones made way more sense than this thin crap. Especially now that it's literally impossible to find a phone smaller than 6.5". My dad only needs phone for calls and SMS and he doesn't want to go with smartphone because they are all so massive. Especially cheaper ones. Like, he'd be fine with Galaxy A06 for all he cares in terms of hardware, but it only comes in giant 6.7" format. It's useless. Or is he suppose to find a 800€ old gen iPhone Mini or Zenfone? He doesn't even need those stupid specs and such stupid price. And then you see old people fumbling around with giant smartphones and they don't even need 3/4 of features on them.
    • its funny now instead of robots built for a specific task which is more efficient we are focused on humanoid robots that are built for do anything but might not do it as well because of restrictions similar to how human body works and they were molded after...
    • 3,900 mAh. When compared to the S25 Ultra (5,000), the S25+ (4,900) and the S25 (4,000), it has the worst battery of them all, all because of that slim size. Everything comes with sacrifices.
