Solved move User profiles to a different drive

[LegacyOfWax]

Hi everyone,

So I have a SSD that is loaded with my OS (C: )
and a HDD 1TB.(B: )

I would like to move the User profiles to the HDD.
What is the best way to do this?

Move the c:\Users folder entirely to your HDD, say d:\Users

Open a cmd prompt - AS ADMINISTRATOR - and type "mklink /j c:\Users d:\Users" (or whatever your new path is) without the quotes and that will create a symbolic link from the SSD to the HDD.

You need to make sure that the folder does not exist in the target drive (ie c:\) for this to work.

You can also do this with programs in your Program Files directories if you want to free up space, although you will lose the speed advantage of the SSD, so maybe just programs you don't use too often.
