You can move your entire Documents file to another drive so long as you
use the right method.
I only have one physical hard drive but it is partitioned into 2.
The Windows standard location for Document, Pictures, Downloads, etc are
in C:\Users\<yourusername\
But they can all be moved to another drive if you right click on them
and choose Properties, then the Location tab.
Mine are all on my D drive. D:\Documents D:\Downloads etc.
Windows has to know where these special folders are so you have to use
this method to move them (or I guess know how to edit the Registry).
Legacy, as you know, uses Documents\Legacy Family Tree\_AppData\ for
your settings. This cannot be changed. So if you want it on another
drive you have to move Documents properly. When they've been moved
properly they still have the special folder icons for these folders and
their content shows in File Explorer under the special entries for these
folders.

Sorry Brian, Personally, I do feel it is a subject
for this group as it still involves Legacy and
using the program. I thought it was a user group.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Changing Drives
This is not really a subject for this group
because moving programs and
data to another Drive is a general windows
question not related to using
Legacy.
In order to answer your question you will need
specify which version of
Windows you are using. I can tell you that in
windows 10 you do it like
this:
Open Setting
Select System settings
Select Storage
Under more storage settings click "Change where
new content is saved"
There you can select which drive to use for new
Apps, New documents,
Music etc.
Click the topic and select the drive to be used.
I do not think that this will move any existing
files but will affect
where new data and programs are stored.
To move existing data you will have to use windows
to move the files.
If you are not using windows 10 then you will have
to use your windows
version to do this. Maybe searching Windows help
will give you an idea
of how to do what you want.
