I know in windows 7 and windows 8 all i had to do is go to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion' and change ProgramFilesDir to the hard driver letter to the on that i prefer. Same goes to the ProgramFilesDir (x86) now here is my real question. On windows 10 we still can do same as i mention above for both x86 and x64.

But the problem is if i change the ProgramFilesDir (x86) on windows 10 most of the things on windows 10 stop working.

I'm going to be sorry, but I have to ask Why are you doing this? If it's a drive space problem, get a larger hard drive. I can see (sort of) moving user folders like Documents, Music, etc but never system folders as important as the two you are talking about. Hello' thank you for the quick reply the whole reason for me to do this is i have 2 hard drive on my PC.

My SSD hard-drive is 119 GB. And my: D hard drive is 2 TB. I have my windows 10 install on the SSD hard-drive the reason i change my ProgramFilesDir (x86) when i install a new software or a Game i want it all to Automatically install to my: D hard drive. Instead of my: C hard drive. I know for a fact that this only happens on windows 10. If i now go to my other PC and install windows 8.1 on it and after the installation is done then i go change my ProgramFilesDir (x86). The PC has no problems it works perfect on windows 7, windows 8, windows 8.1 i am having this issue only with windows 10.
