Hi Frank,

Yes it's always a good idea to store your personal files on a separate drive.
Not only does this free up your C drive so your OS will work smoother but also it's good practice in case you need to re-install only your OS at some point.

I like keeping the C drive only for my OS and installed programs and have my D drive for data.
Also I have a third drive as a scratch disk when working with programs like Photoshop etc.
I keep backups of my C and D drives so in an emergency I can just swap HDDs.

If your C drive is fairly full, you should free up some space so that your OS can run smoother.
