Using a PC_ LrC and two internal drives C;\ and D:\

Report · Mar 06, 2023

I am using a PC and have been using the C:\drive for importing and processing all my photos. Unfortunately, it has only 250 MG (solid state drive) and it gets filled up quickly. The second is my D:\ drive (SATA drive) which has 1TB Is there a way to process my edits on the c:\ drive and then export them to the D:\ drive so I can remove them from the C:\ altogether? Or do you have a recommendation on how to address this issue.
Thank you Kindly
Julia

First, make sure that you have a backup of your photos.
On the D drive, created your desired folder, place one photo in that folder.
in Lrc, import that one photo in the D drive
in LrC, using the folders panel, and/or grid view, etc, move the photos from C to D.

an alternative way

First, make sure that you have a backup of your photos.
In LrC, in the folders panel, add a new folder, a folder in the D drive
In LrC, using the folders panel, and/or grid view, etc, move the photos from C to D.

and a bit longer, but with reasons why:

Another approach, involving your OS file manager instead of LrC to move the photos (takes more steps, but might be faster) is given in method 2 in the following:
