Using External Hard Drives to Supplement the Existing Drive

[Taz69]

 I have an HP Stream 14" Screen Laptop, Intel Celeron N4000 Processor, 4GB Memory, 32GB eMMC Drive with Windows 10 Home in S Mode. So hard drive space is limited. I have a 1 TB Slim case External Hard Drive that want to use with the laptop. If I try to install a program like Nero 2019 and Dragon Naturally Speaking all the memory is shot on the laptop. So what is the best way to install the  large programs like those on the external Harddrive so I can run it from the external harddrive on my laptop?

Many software ONLY allow you to install them on C:. You have to check with vendors to make sure, otherwise they won't work. But some software/apps allow you to install on other drive.

To make life MUCH easier in the long run, you can ADD SD or microCD card (up to 128GB - may be more) to the Card reader on your machine then install programs (if they support) to SD/microSD drive and use external drive for storage.
