Move your profile to your HDD.

I recently bought this laptop which has an SSD and a big HDD, yet Windows was set up such that it made absolutely no use of the HDD. I have created folders and files on the HDD, but it's hard work. And then I had to manually move my profile to the HDD.

It's a doddle in Linux. Just set up /home on the HDD, job done. I can't understand why Microsoft hasn't even tried to make it easy for Windows users to use their hardware to best advantage.
