First of all, your capslock key seems to have a bad contact.

Second - it all depends on where you bougth the game. FD, Steam and Epic are all different in that respect.

Third - to put all of ED's files (i.e. player logs, bindings - all the user specific stuff essentially) onto something different than your Windows boot drive will require some heavy fiddling and symlinking.

It isn't going to get better from there on - best solution, not just for ED, would be to get a screwdriver and replace that 180 GB drive with something reasonable. Or, if that 180 GB is a SSD (and the one TB a HDD) and depending on which OS and motherboard/BIOS you're using, you might be able to simply use the SSD as a cache for the HDD. Most recent link I could find on the quick is here https://linustechtips.com/topic/1154850-using-an-ssd-as-a-cache-for-my-6tb-hard-drive/ - skimming over it, it looks reasonably solid.

Wat, if you dont want to install and mess around installing an SSD,
you could try the beginner's course of using a Portable USB SSD.

Example...

My Passport (2019) USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive, 2TB Blue - for £60.95.​

just plug the USB SSD in and forget about it.

I think you misunderstand the forum. It is just for users helping if they can. Para Handy gave the only answer that is sure to work. Contact support.

Every halfway decent installation routine asks you where to install whatever it is you are installing and all you have to do at that point is to change the suggested path from C:\ (your primary disk) to D:\ (your secondary disk).

if you purchased ED direct from FD then run the installer Strontium Dog linked to or log onto your Frontier store account where you can also download the game.

if you own ED via steam then you will need to create a new games library within steam then point then select the new library when you install ED via steam

the installer will ask you where you want to install ED. however ED, Horizons, Odyssey will all install to the same location as the launcher... you could theoretically have ED on drive C and odyssey on D:\ etc however you will need multiple copys of the ED launcher and shortcuts to those different installs
