As we have a new SSD to play with, searches will be fast anyway. Search indexing is a feature built in to Windows that is designed to make searching for files and applications very quick when working with old and slow hard drives by storing something similar to a 'phone book for files' on the drive. Configuring Search Indexing and Paging Files Just double check the location is correct before each move, as you may otherwise merge two folders and have to sort them out file by file afterwards.ĥ. The safest way to complete this is by copying the text from the first folder you moved, paste it into the other folder's location box and changing the final Folder Name. Repeat that process for every folder in the list, or at least for all of them where the size of the folder outweighs the advantages of having fast read times via SSD. If all is done well, the Videos folder should disappear and reappear in your new Libraries folder on the Data drive - in fact you might not even notice that it has been moved unless you look at that specific location or compare drive sizes. It will ask you a few questions such as "The path does not exist, Do you want to create a new folder" and "Do you want to move the files in the location?" Select Yes to all options. If you put everything in the same folder, it will negate the purpose of libraries and potentially take a lot of work to sort out later.Ĭonfirm the move by clicking "OK". Before you apply any changes, you must first add the name of the original folder back to the end of the text box so that becomes "D:\Libraries\Videos" rather than just "D:\Libraries". Browse to the Libraries folder that was just created and select "OK". Right click on any of the many folders - we'll call it the "Videos" folder - and select "Properties" from the menu.Ĭlick the Location tab at the top and then select the "Move" button. Go back to the File Explorer and now browse to C:\Users.
Please make sure to confirm that the paths are correct before clicking the final "OK". The remainder of this step is extremely easy to mis-configure and it is a very, VERY big problem if you do. It may also be a good idea to make a folder called "Program Files" for future use too. for more clarity the name doesn't matter).
