Thanks, that information will be useful for those wrangling SSD/HDD configurations. Note that article also says how to relocate the three main "AppData" folders, which might be a good idea too. See for how to do it (fortunately you have to do this only once, and it's possible that the PC might even come configured that way). Unfortunately you have to do this separately for each folder.
If you tend to put your stuff in library folders like "Documents", "Pictures" and so on, then you might want to relocate them to D. Normally the HD is drive D, and is much bigger, which means that you want to make sure that all or most of your own files go there. I'm getting for the office a Dell with a small SSD / large HD next week, so I guess I'll find out what Dell does! Worth thinking about.Īs Wr圜uda says, it's normal for the SSD to be the C drive with the operating system on it, I think. Note that I have un-checked the last option box. Apparently, you need to keep 20Gb or thereabouts free for Win10 updates.
Win10, Office and a few other programs/utilities occupies about 40Gb of the SSD, and that's fine. You'll probably find a dialog that asks where you want subsequent software to be loaded I specified the HDD, but several installs insisted on going onto the SSD. Office 365 was also pre-installed on the SSD and was up and running in a few minutes after I entered the validation code. What is your experience?Ĭan't say about Dell, but my Acer notebook (128Gb SSD + 2Tb HDD) came with Win10 installed on the SSD. Dell does not make mention about this feature on their website. However, if Windows 10 comes pre installed on the hard disk, and it is up to me to transfer the operating system on ssd, it will be disappointing since I would be reluctant to start fiddling around with a new computer. I'm planning on purchasing a new desktop, I don't know yet for sure about the brand, but it will most probably be an HP or Dell with a 128gb or 250gb ssd.
