I have nearly filled up my SSD

[Followthedon]

I have nearly filled up my SSD, my SSD or drive c has the operating system (windows 7), (adobe master collection), (games) and other files. I have a​

drive for storage, the prbolum is the computer dose not seem to understand to use the huge drive and keeps wanting to fill more of the SSD. now I do have info on the 3tb drive filled about 200 or so gigs so I have used and normally have to tell each program to use it rather then the SSD. some programs don't ask and then tell me they can't download there update like my kasperky​

dose not understand to use the large drive and tries to download from SSD and then sends me a error message like drive C full. So how dose someone remedy this so that the large 3000 gig drive automatically is treated like the main drive​

by default programs will install to the c drive unless you tell it otherwise during the install. Slow down a sec and read the options when you install something most time it tells you where you are about to install to. Example C:/program files/...... simply change the C to whatever drive letter you assigned to the hdd. Other times you'll get the express or custom install options where you change the path. In the future check for other threads there are several already on this very topic one just posted earlier.

in some cases you'll have to do a custom install for it to prompt

different directory installation as well. in your case, you might wanna

uninstall the big appz and reinstall to the storage drive (3TB). now it

will still install some of the C: drive proper files, but not the huge

directories of app support. that should free up some mega room.

my CS2 directory (spacesniffer) shows 2.3GB and support of 750MB.

and vegas is another GB so on a 64GB and all the appz i need im

just under 40GB with lil on no operating room. but luckly i have my network

holding the mass of documents.
