Is it possible to move some folders of drive C to D?

Question

Windows

If I move the downloads folder, it won't affect anything, will it? Image folder etc.

Answer 1

Nothing. Is that the speed will drop a little
If the disk is after the system.
And we all know - At the beginning of the disc, the speed is always higher.
Personally, I moved the folder documents, videos, photos, desktop, music, downloads
After changing Windows, you just have to re-enter them and everything will be fine
. I think there is nothing more to say

Answer 2

Of course, it is possible, and even necessary. And there is a significant motive for this - the smaller the volume of the system partition C, the smaller the volume of its backup (i.e., you need less space to store the backup) and less time is needed to create and deploy it. Personally, I take out all the temporary storage there (the Temp folder and Temporary Internet files), the swap file (if it is an HDD), the My Documents, Downloads folders, and in general everything user, not system.
General rule: only the system should be on the system partition , user data in case of a crash will be safer, being somewhere on the side. And by the way, a consequence of this rule: try not to use the Desktop as a place to store data.

Answer 3

It shouldn't, especially if you're using symlinks.
