So in my desktop I have a 500Gb SSD and a 1TB HDD , SSD is my boot drive and I use my HDD for storage big file stuff, I was wondering if I could install adobe programs on my SSD and save my files(like the projects I do) on my HDD, would there be any problems that I will run into doing this?

No. You'll get no problems.

I done this constellation for many years with Lightroom and Photoshop. I have a 500GB SSD as boot drive with the operation system. All applications that I use are installed on this drive. In addition I have a second 500GB SSD. This drive is for my Lightroom catalog and the preview cache. The photos (incl. Photoshop files ) are save on a 6TB HDD.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

Thank you so much, I was worried there will be a problem with the files since it wasn't on the same drive but thank you so much

Yes the applications work best from the internal drive but photos, videos etc. can usually be accessed from an external hard drive. I do this with Lightroom. Which Adobe product are you using?
