Product: HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000i (1K4B7AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I wish to have my files auto store to the larger hard drive (D)-2TB).  Currently it defaults to (C)-Windows Folder 240 GB).  I want the standard folders such as Music, Photos, Documents, etc. to be on the D drive and take me there for a save instead of having to switch each time.  I will be loading lots of software as well, so hoping I could put a lot of that on the D drive as well.    Is this possible?    If so, what are the steps to switch over.  I have NO need to have anything autocopy to OneDrive either.  Right now everything tries to copy there.

 

This is a new computer and just setting up and already a mess.
