Re configuring drives on withdows 10 Pro?

[Keith_Stuart]

Im hoping someone can help me with this. I just bought this desktop refurbished, and I am a little confused about it. It is a
Device name DESKTOP-QAAM89P
Processor Intel(R) Core™ i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
Device ID D8115B42-AC23-44F0-81FE-073EA940AB42
Product ID 00330-50000-00000-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I am running widows 10 PRO. For the most part I bought this for music production and I have a LOT of plugins and programs. The add said this:
Lenovo RGB Gaming PC Desktop Computer - Intel Quad I5 up to 3.6GHz, GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6G GDDR6, 32GB Memory, 256G SSD + 3TB
It runs faster than my old PC, and all seems well ecept for this one issue. As a default I suppose is the term, Most all installed programs go to the C: drive wich is only 256G. Drive D: has close to 3TB. Why would someone manufacture something like this? Is it possible to re-rout or configure the D: drive as the default program drive? My C; drive is maxed out and rather quickly I might add. Thanks for any responses.

and what Georgeks has said will also apply to your Docs, Pics, Videos and Desktop folders if you want to also move them to the D:\ drive to free up C:\ space.

it’s done that way as your C:\ drive is a solid state drive (SSD) while the D:\ is the older, slower, but dirt cheap, mechanical hard disk drive (HDD).

@Keith Stuart - any news?

So far so good. I record a lot of Music, and I have a lot of different pluggins that have to run with large programs for my DAW, so its been aggrovating to say the least.
