The SSD only has 68G of free space and the D drive has over 800G left. A;; my photos are on my D drive all my games are on the SSD. All this is on Windows 10, everything is up to date. I also have the windows office which takes up a lot of space but I'm sure must stay on the C drive. Can I move my games to the D drive I have several games I never use but everything always got to the C drive. If I can move them how would I do this?

Origin has a VERY SIMPLE solution to move games to another hard drive. Right click on the game select move to then select the drive. Already moving 2 of my games. Seems like the games will load slower but the play will be the same. Hunter1948 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Are these Steam games? Steam games can be transferred to any drive. 2. Are the pictures just things that you collected over the years? Pictures can be moved to just about anywhere and can still be accessed. A 5tb USB 3 portable drive can be had on Amazon for $100-110 or so. Transferring the pics to USB drive means that you could take all 54,963 pics of your Grandkids to the next XI Fest. WeednFeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Thanks CW4 have a look at the link I found. I've already moved the pictures no problem and have started moving the Origin Games asper the link. Works perfect. I'll also move the Steam games later.

Left click C, click Disk Cleanup, click (Clean up system files) select everything and press OK. It can take a while to complete. I usually delete mine every month or 2 but it still has over 8gb of junk in it. If you haven't done this since the last big update it could be 80+gb. Don't delete it if you plan on rolling windows 10 back to an older version. WeednFeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
