I want to move my C:\Users folder to D:\Users

[Tornadoman]

I want to move my C:\Users folder to D:\Users.  I have found a couple documents online, but they do not appear to work.  I am a software engineer so I can handle technical stuff.

Thanks

Hi, @Tornadoman try this fix.

1. Open File Explorer.

2. Click Quick Access if it isn’t open.

3. Click the user folder that you want to change to select it.

4. Click the Home tab on the Ribbon.

   The Home tab is displayed.

5. In the Open section, click Properties.

6. In the Folder Properties window, click the Location tab.

1. Click Move.

2. Browse to the new location you want to use for this folder.

3. Click Select Folder.

4. Click OK.

   You’re asked to confirm that you want to move all files from the old location to the new location.

5. Click Yes and wait for the files to be moved to the new location.

1. Close File Explorer.

   The next time you start File Explorer, the user folder will appear in the new location.

Also, try this fix, if you are still facing challenges with the above one.

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Click on This PC from the left pane.
3. Under the "Devices and drivers" section, open the new drive location.
4. Navigate to the location you want to move the folders.
5. Click the New folder button from the "Home" tab.

6. Name the folder Documents.

1. Repeat steps No. 5 and 6 to create remaining folders. For example, Desktop, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, and Music.

   Quick tip: You can also use the Ctrl + Shift + N keyboard shortcut to create new folders more quickly.

2. Open Start.
3. Search for Run and click the top result to open the Run command.

4. Type the following path to open the location with the account default folders and click the OK button:

   %HOMEPATH%

   Right-click the folder you want to move and select the Properties options.

1. Click the Location tab.

2. Click the Move button.

1. Select the equivalent folder in the new location.

2. Click the Select Folder button.

1. Click the Apply button.

2. Click the Yes button.

1. Click the OK button.
2. Repeat steps No. 11 through 18 to move the remaining folders.

Once you complete the steps, the default account folders will move to the new location, and future files will save in this location by default.

Although moving folders one at a time introduces additional steps, you'll avoid potential problems, which may be something that could happen while moving the main account folder.

Thanks, but ideally I'd like to move the entire users folder including Appdata to the D drive.
