What can I store on D:/?
I have a C drive and a D drive on my computer. When I first got it, someone from Dell told me that pictures, documents, etc., should go on D drive, while everything else goes on C drive.
The problem is: C drive has 98 GB of used space (6.08 free), while D drive has 33 GB of used space (898 free). Can I put apps and games on D drive? I know that would cause some slow down, but I'm ok with that. If I can do that, how do I move everything over? Like I obviously know how to hold and drag files, but moving games and apps from one drive to another seems more complex.
Thanks for your help!
Device name DESKTOP-DA7IUTQ

For Windows 11, open Settings, select System => Storage => Advanced storage settings => Where new content is saved. You will see the screen as pictured below. Select and change each category to drive D:. Give it time as some folder might take minutes to move to drive D:

Glad to help out. If my answer solves your issue, considering to mark it as accepted answer.
On standard setting system, users may have to go to D drive and open up the User folder to add a new folder then name it Downloads to match with folder group from C drive. Of course, anything can be customized as users preference.

Done, and thanks for that. This is my first time on this forum. And good point about my Downloads folder.
