I have another question as well, and I may have totally screwed myself here, but I built this computer with the intention of running the operating system on a 250gb nvme drive, and I have a second 1tb nvme for programs, and then a 5tb Lacie for long term storage.
I make music, and this is primarily a music production build. Maybe it was a stupid idea, especially since I dont know PCs very well and this is my first build. Part of me is wondering if I should just start over and put the operating system on the 1tb nvme along with all my programs.
The problem i have reached is that some programs I'm trying to download are automatically installing to C: drive, and some of the installers dont give you an option of where to download. Feeling this might turn into a big head ache, especially since the C: drive is only 250Gb.
My intention was to keep the small drive solely for windows, my music production software, all the plugins, and active projects on the 1tb drive, and then all of my long term storage and audio samples on the 5T Lacie drive.
idk if this even makes sense or is possible. I know it's possible through registry edit, but that's a whole can of worms that i probably shouldnt open. Windows 11 supposedly has the functionality to choose where new "apps" are installed, and I selected the drive I want them on, and it hasn't done anything. My suspicion is that this function is only for "apps" downloaded from the Microsoft store. Uhhhhg! Probably will end up starting over.
