Windows on SSD, Users on NAS

Hey guys. I have a 128gb SSD, and a WD My Cloud NAS, what's the best way to install Windows 8.1 and Programs on the SSD, and have my "Users" Folder on the NAS?

I also have a Mac and this was easy, however I'm not sure how to do this with Windows 8.1

I basically want all my documents, downloads, music, pictures, etc. on the NAS, but windows and programs on my SSD, I also want it to be as seamless as possible.
 
Well...in Win7 if you wanted to "move" it you had to create a link on the C: drive to the new location. Alternatively you can move most of the folders in your User folder by right-clicking and going to properties and moving them.

But basically..... http://bit.ly/1xUITTh
 
I figured it out, I just had to right click on the Folder "Documents\Music\Pictures\etc." then select change location, then I selected the location on my NAS.
