Can i move my program files to another partition
I have some programs installed on PC - is it possible to move the program files folder from the C drive on a seperate partition, to make them run faster ??

If you have your entire drive already partitioned as C:, not very easily. You can try to use partitioning software to reduce the C: partition and make a new one, but if you only have one hard drive, it won't make anything run any faster.

No, it's still the same hard drive, running on that same data channel, running at the same speed. So it's just sharing the data channel. Won't make a difference.
