I just recieved my vanquish II level 4 and i just have one question and please remember that I have VERY limited knowledge of computers and this is my first gaming computer

anyways, i noticed that the default place that games are downloaded are my SSD which is only 120gb

and i want to download games on my HDD which is 930 gb

how do i start downloading games onto my HDD? my HDD is completely empty with NO folders or anything in it, and i can't seem to get games to download there

For example, i tried to get watchdogs to download, i clicked " this pc-->E drive ( the hdd) and then save, then nothing happened)

what am i missing here?

Normally when you download a game or any file, you are given the option that is usually missed, to tell it where you want it to go.    If will default to the drive with your OS on it, like your SSD, so just change the default location to your HDD and location you want the program to load to,  such as E , Program Files.   If your HDD has no folders, then you need to add New Folders. 

Hope this helps.  Big%20Smile

Like bprat says...when you're installing / downloading the game you have to indicate that you want it on the E: drive. Just look for the install box and change the C: to E:

Good idea to have all System files on the C drive. I even have steam client installed to C drive, but all the steam games, ubisoft games and standalones installed to E:

YOLO, The only thing on my HDD's is movies, TV shows, and music. I keep all of my games and most programs on my SSD's.

The very beginning is not really needed as DS does that. However the other parts of the video give you a basic explanation of how to do it. I think after 4:30 minutes into the video is where you can start looking
