I want to install only W10 on a SSD drive and keep all of my other programs and files on separate hard drives. Essentially isolate the OS so if I get a virus I can quickly reinstall W10 without having to rebuild my entire machine. Is this possible? Thanks.
That should be of No Issue and quite possible, I do the same with my Tablet - 32gb SSD and have a extra internal 128GB.
Open setting and find Storage Options. an select where you want...
In Windows 10, you can change the storage drive location for where your new apps, documents, music, photos and videos, movies and TV shows, and offline maps are saved by default. You can use any
internal,
external, or
removable drives as a storage save location. These locations will be reflected in the folders in
Quick access
The new storage location you select will automatically be
included to the same documents, music, pictures, or videos
library as your
default save location. This way, when you save items in the library, it will actually be saved to the selected storage location.
