What is the best way to install WIndows 10 on two HDDs?

Question

Windows

The laptop has two HDDs
. I decided to reinstall Windows.
Is it possible to specify which folder on which specific HDD will be located at the stage of operating system installation?
Let's say the Windows folder is in C, and the Program Files (x86), Program Files, etc. folders. will be on D.
And in general, what is the best way to place folders to speed up the laptop, given that one screw is faster than the other (slightly)
1. HDD: TOSHIBA MQ01ABD075 (750 GB)
2. HDD: WDC WD2500BEVS-00UST0 (250 GB)
Thank you!

Answer 1

You can actually transfer only the folder with user profiles:
1. Install Windows as usual
2. After installation, on drive D: create a folder d:\Users, assign the same rights and owner to it as c:\Users.
3.In the registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileLists change the ProfilesDirectory parameter to D:\
Users set of numbers). Delete these sections. Sections with short names do not need to be deleted.
5. Reboot.
6.Your profile is in D:\Users.
7. You can either copy the previous profile to c:\Users (and then delete it), or, if there is nothing valuable, just delete it.
You can also transfer some large folders from c:\Windows, replacing them with links. Those. transfer the folder itself and create a link in its place using mklink or another tool that can make links. But don’t be too zealous with this, I think system32 and SysWOW64 should at least not be transferred :)

The maximum that can be done is to put the system on one disk, put the paging file on another.
In theory it should be a little faster, in practice it will be imperceptible.
If you want your laptop to run fast, install an SSD.

Here, I gave an answer to a similar question: How to change the path of the Program Files folder?
But, with two hdd you will not get a noticeable increase in speed. It's better to buy an SSD drive.

Answer 4

You can mount disk partitions not as letters, but as folders (see disk management in the OS). But is the game worth the candle - xs.

Answer 5

If you are wondering how, well, it is very correct to install Windows on two hard drives.
THEN it is done like this: we
allocate 2 gigabytes at the beginning of the disk for the paging file, we put the
second disk in the unallocated area, we mark up 20 GB for temporary files and the browser cache on the second section we arrange a file dump.
But for a laptop, an SSD is better - it has less chance of dying than a hard one.
