content: NOT MY WINDOWS!!! Windows 7 and older DOES NOT have to be installed in that path! (seriously). I think windows 10 too if you muck with "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" Windows can function in other paths. Most sections of windows too! : https://sourceforge.net/projects/install-dir-changer/ Windows does not even need to be on a named letter. This exotic path is acceptable for an installed functioning windows :  *C:\Voat\Windows\System32* You can also move user directories and even TEMP to other drives. Macintosh OSX is the same way for all 14 or so of its special named directories, all can be renamed, all of them, as per steve jobs orders, to allow a very Japanese oriented directory layout for japan (if needed).
