During setup, you usually have the chance to place the program elsewhere. Focus on the instructions instead of repeatedly clicking 'next, next, next'. Updated sections now cover OS & Software. The troubleshooting forum is meant for... troubleshooting.

Even with a fresh Windows installation, there are still steps to ensure everything sets up correctly.

I don’t recall any method that works when the program prompts to move folders, even though there are options to relocate files like Downloads and documents to other drives for better storage.

They share the same computer, and whenever they update software it's stored on the SSD.

The process is optimizing storage by relocating files to another drive, which frees up space on the SSD and reduces write operations. It won't prevent program installation but shifts some data to another disk, potentially increasing boot times slightly. Loading files from an HDD should add only a few seconds, though.

During the setup of program X, it typically prompts you to decide whether to install it in a different location than the standard directory (often the program files folder). You can't simply adjust a setting to alter the defaults, as far as I understand.
