Moving the C: drive to a bigger drive?

My HDD crashed so I bought a tiny SSD and then a WD Green SATA HDD. My intention is to put the OS on the SSD and everything else on the HDD. I plan on getting a new graphics card soon and a WD Black SATA HDD to slap some games on after my bank account recovers from the holidays.

I installed Windows to the SSD and formatted the HDD as my D: drive. Is there any way to keep the OS on the SSD but move all of the other C: drive files to the HDD? What exactly am I ok to move? This is all a fresh install.
 
You can move your user data folder locations to the d drive easily. What size SSD drive do you have? Here is how to move user data folder location.

Go into your user folder and on each of the following folders right click and click on properties, click on location tab and change location to your d drive instead of c drive.

Sa-weet! Thanks! It's only 120 GB so I was just going to keep the OS on there and maybe 1 game at a time... whatever my flavor of the month is.
 
Also you can get back a RAM's worth of capacity by disabling hibernation.

Admin command prompt -> powercfg -h off
