I've been "experimenting" with SSD-caching, and integrating high-speed storage and conventional storage devices. I wouldn't say 'ask me anything," but I think I have everything nailed down tightly in a dual-boot system.
As part of this "experimentation," I have deliberately installed some of my bigger programs and all of my games on another disk, without spanning drives or linking them with shortcuts. So my system has an "E:" drive with a "Program Files" or Program Files(86)" directory. No problem with that.
I found an enthusiast, possibly posting at MSDN, TechNet, 10-Forums -- I don't think it was Anandtech. He had figured out how to simply move the files from one drive to another, and edit the registry by replacing all the strings containing "E:" [or whatever] to "C:" or vice-versa. He had written quite a tome to study.
I think I had once noticed a utility that would do all this, and maybe just do it for one installed program at a time if desired.
If anyone knows of such a utility used for today's OSes W7 and W10, please let me know. It isn't urgent, but Proper Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance. the 6-P principle.
