Can I move my programs, software from C drive to the second hard drive?
"Hi, do you know how to move an installed program or software from the C drive to another partition or a new hard drive?
Windows always like to install downloaded software, programs and even some applications in the C drive by default. However, as time goes by, the C drive space will be eaten and occupied by more and more software and programs.
So I want to know whether I can move those installed programs or apps from my C drive to a new hard drive on Windows computer? And how? By the way, I’m using Windows 10."
