How to Make Sure My Games Install on the New SSD Instead of My HD?

Asked By GamerDude42 On

I recently added a new 2TB SSD to my setup alongside my existing 1TB HD. I've noticed that due to space constraints, I could only have one game on my old 200GB SSD and everything else has been sitting on the HD. After installing the new SSD, I ran into an issue where any games I install to my D drive don't seem to run on the SSD; it feels like my computer sees both drives as one combined space. Is there a way to separate the installation paths so that I can specifically install my games on the new SSD? I'm currently having to move games around manually, and it's quite frustrating. Also, just a little heads up, my current game Black Myth: Wukong is too large for the 200GB SSD, so I can't run that properly at all.

Yeah, I agree with TechWiz88; it seems like a configuration issue. Make sure you check your Disk Management to see if the SSD is partitioned properly. If it’s showing as a single volume with the HD, you might need to reconfigure it. This way, you can directly choose the SSD when installing games instead of having them default to the combined drive.

It sounds like your drives are set up in a way that they are being merged or treated as a single volume. You’ll want to dive into your Disk Management settings. You should stop whatever’s causing that merge and allow the SSD to function as a separate drive. That way, you can control the installation paths for your games more effectively. Check what Disk Management shows to see how those drives are configured!
