If you've ever felt the ominous squeeze of limited storage space on your C: drive, you're not alone. The default user folders in Windows—namely, Documents, Pictures, and Music—tend to fill up quickly, especially if you're a multimedia enthusiast or a professional dealing with large files...
Hello,
I've had a nice setup for myself and my family using Win 10 and Onedrive for cloud based files that served either as a backup or ability to share between people.
With recently installing Win11 on a couple of computers (first my wife's Surface, and now my personal laptop) everything moved...

Hey,

I've had computers for over 20 years and I have always created my own folders, files, and build thousands of folders and sub folders and I’ve always created my own hierarchy and I’ve never used Libraries so after studying Windows 8 I’m wondering if I’m missing something by not using the Libraries?
On my 64 bit Windows 7 desktop, I used to have two Western Digital 500 GB drives, each with one partition (C: and D: respectively). But recently those two drives both started failing their self-tests; so I am replacing them with two 1 TB drives.

I have a laptop and I partitioned "C" into "C" and "F". Now I want to move the non-system, non Windows OS files to "F". I need to know which of the folders now on "C" I can move. I've attached a screencap. Which of the folders can I move?
I guess I should not move
