1.) Move Personal, Download, Files, ... folders in Windows 10!

Start the MS Explorer for this and please type in the Address Bar shell:profile and confirm this press ENTER (see Figure 1).

Then select "My documents" in the Explorer. Click with the right mouse button on it and choose cut. Then insert into the desired folder with "CTRL + V"!  Do not a copy action this has to  be a move folder action!  

Move the folder wherever you want. Or do right Mouse Drag&Drop. (... see Image-1 Arrow 1 to 4)

Windows 10 will auto change all registry entries!

Here I have created a folder with the name "D:\User1" created on Volume "D:\"  and moved the folder "My documents", "My music", "My videos", "My Pictures", ... . A practical matter, if you must reinstall Windows 10, you can repeat the process and all data are back.

You can move folders from the profile folder of your account to other drives. For example, the Desktop or My Pictures folder requires a lot of disk space, and you can move it to another disk to increase the free space on the system disk. Here in the FAQ it explains how you can move the location of the default profile folder.

By default, the profile folders are stored on the local disk C:\ in the Users folder. They contain the following folders: Contacts; Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Favorites, Music, OneDrive, Pictures, Saved Games, Search, Video, etc. It happens that some users confuse the folders and save them all in a folder and then do not know how to find files individually in the default directory!
