I even Installed some old games on that PC as it does not have that much of a powerful card. I copied the files from C:\Program FilesĪnd C:\ Program Files (x86) to the directory I changed and Boom it worked like charm.Įverything was going well. All that done and The Windows Defender stopped working so I figured out my own solution for this. I don't know about the Common Files Directory but I changed it too as I though that some software have their data stored in these directories. I changed all these directories so that no software, literally no software gets installed on my boot drive. ProgramFilesDir (x86) C:\Program Files (x86)ĬommonFilesDir C:\Program Files\Common FilesĬommonFilesDir (x86) C:\Program Files (x86)\Common If anybody wants to know what I did there here is what I changed,ĬommonW6432Dir C:\Program Files\Common Files Also I changed the default Installation Directory to the desired partition on my hard drive in the Registry Editor. Just to keep things on the safe side so that the disk won't fill up, I disabled the Windows Update from services.msc (yeah nothing too important is on that pc so its fine with the updates off). So Yeah I did the installation (Build 1903) and everything went great like super fast boot times as what you would expect from a SSD paired with Windows 10 and I had about 10 Gigs free after I was done with the Installation. And so I thought that it should do the job if I just use it as a boot drive for Windows 10 on my other PC.


Actually I bought a used 32GB ssd about a month ago because it was really cheap, like really very cheap (from ADATA I think).
