SSD and HDD
#2

  1. Create a new user account (offline, no MS-Account)
  2. Login into your new account
  3. Logout from your new account
  4. Login into your admin user account
  5. Go to location: C:\Users\
  6. Move the new crated home directory of the new user to another location / disk (admin rights are required to move it)
  7. Start regedit and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\
  8. Navigate in this hierarchy to the last folders and the right side you'll see ProfileImagePath which is pointing to the users home directory. Change this path to the new location. Don't edit the wrong user. You
    ll have minimum 2 long entries after you've added the new user in previous step.
  9. Log out and log in with the new user.

   

I've tested this on a Virtual Machine where Windows 10 is installed.
This procedure does affect only one profile and does not affect other profiles.

It is possible to change the location of all profiles, but this not what you want.

After you've done everything, you could use this user, to install everything in %LOCALAPPDIR%.
Newer installers support both methods. The first well-known method is to install an application system wide in "C:\Programm files".
The newer method is to install the application inside the users profile.

I'm not sure if Anaconda offers the Application install in users profile, but if not, you can choose another directory on drive D.

PS: Deleting the new created user after the change is also possible and it works fine. So after the test I remove the user xy.
