You have to do 2 things
1. Move data/files from C: to 😧 using normal CUT and PASTE (folder by folder),
2. Assign default saved files from C to D using

Banhien, Thank you for support.
I have already changed to default to save new files to the Data Drive (D:Data) I think I mentioned the post that it was pretty easy to do through explore.
I was hoping to avoid cut and paste file from the Windows Operating system drive (C:Windows). I not sure which files are for Windows operation and which is Data files. I don't want to accidently move Operating files or leave file not needed for windows operations.
I would think there is tool to do that. Since the the Window operating system and hard drives are HP factory install, I would think HP or Microsoft would have a tool to fix the issue.
Thank you again, I will keep searching before I move files manual,
I welcome yours or any ones input.
