Windows 10: How to install applications on the hard drive instead of the SSD drive?

I actually have the answer to this. It doesn't have to be that hard. All of the stuff that the advisor told people to do is ridiculous. There are two methods.1 Go to Settings/System/Storage/Change where new content is saved. Here you can choose what types of files saved to the hard drive. Your choices are new apps, new documents, new music, new photos and videos, new movies and TV shows or your offline maps. You can choose all or whichever you want on your hard drive. Yes, Microsoft included this function in Windows 10. However, this doesn't always work. I tried unsuccessfully at first but it

Windows 10 Installed on hard drive instead of SSD

I just upgraded my laptop to Windows 10. It has a hard drive (~ 1 TB) and an SSD (~ 25 GB). Previously, Windows 8 was installed on the SSD. When I upgraded, I did not see an option to choose which drive to install Windows to. It did it on the hard drive.
Obviously I want it on the SSD. Any idea how to move it over OR reinstall with the option to choose which drive?

Thanks.

 

how to optimally install windows and applications on a SSD drive and save all files to an internal hard drive

Currently I am performing an installation of windows 10 on a SSD drive. A windows 10 bootable iso was used. Currently it is updating windows. When it is complete I want to be able to install only applications onto the SSD drive. Then I would like all
files saved to the internal hard drive. Where is the settings or how do you configure windows so that by default all files are not saved to the drive in which the operating system is on and all of the files are saved by default to the internal hard drive?

The idea here is for any future windows 10 problems the operating system can be installed on the SSD drive without risking any files.

Please indicate how to optimally set this up.

The SSD is 250 GB. The internal hard drive is 1 TB.

Any comments on how to optimally set up the computer for the following are also appreciatied:

1) best performance

2) most privacy

3) setting all browsers including edge and IE for google search

4) any other suggestions for a fresh installation

There is a windows application that I have not yet used called File history.

If files were saved by default to the SSD drive and file history was used on the internal hard drive what would be the difference between:

the above set up and this set up?

For example the above set up allows the SSD drive to be formatted, sanitized and there is no loss of files.

The file history method appears to similar in that the files are saved to both the SSD drive and the internal hard drive. Then what happens if the os becomes corrupt? Can the SSD be formatted, sanitized and then files are moved from the internal hard drive
to the SSD drive? Do you end up with the same result or different result?
