As I said in the subject line I took advantage of the free Win 10 upgrade and keep running into a lot of different problems. I decided today rather than waste the little extra time trying to find out what is causing all these issues I would rather start over from a very clean disk and install my Win 7.

Changing default install location
I tried doing this the other night by following this: Secondary Harddrive question - [Solved] - Storage (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1792156/secondary-harddrive-question.html) but it messed a lot of shortcuts etc up.
