User installed programs on two different drives
Win 8.1 x64 is installed onto a SSD drive; the C: drive.
System Folders such as Documents, or Pictures are on a second HD partition. The SSD is short on free space, and I would like to install some programs onto a partition on the second HD.
If the entire Win 8.1 OS boot SSD drive has to be restored, will having some programs installed on the second HD prevent the restore operation from succeeding?
I use a file backup for the System Folders and a disk backup for the boot drive.
Thank you.

You might want to look at your SSD disk when viewed in Windows Disk Management just to confirm whether therre are any non-lettered frives or not, etc.

Okay, thank you.
A few months ago I had this configuration, but Window update would not restore the boot drive.
There was an error message indicating that all programs had to be on the same partition.
