New desktop running 8.1.
After a week or so of setting it up I discovered I had a bigger partition set up on C: labelled Data, I found out why this is so and decided it was a good idea. (Never had this before on a new computer).
So I researched and discovered how to redirect my Libraries to the partition labelled Data
I copied over my files. I understood some of my programmes may need their save to defaults changed.
I went into the Word set up and changed the Save default.
I tested it out with a Word document today and find that my files are still being saved in the original C: Libraries as well as the new D: location. Although today a word doc still didn't save as default to the new location.
Is there something more I need to do?
At the moment I have still left all the original files on the C: drive until I'm sure the new location is working well before I delete them.
I was also planning on setting up Win 8's File backup on to my Homegroup laptop but will hold off for now as I'm not sure it will work if I have changed my Libraries locations.
