How to prevent use of 'Recovery' folder on my slow external backup hard drive?

Hi, I noticed that when doing an upgrade to a newer build, that Windows is using my slow, external backup hard drive to create a 'Recovery' folder. Is there any way to prevent Windows from using that hard drive? My C: drive is an SSD and my upgrades are very slow and I suspect that Windows using my slow backup HDD is the reason why the build upgrades take such a long time.

      Mark DormerMy drive is connected in a way that makes it difficult to physically disconnect and I won't do that every time a new insider build is released. But thanks for the advice, Sherlock. I'll put it with the other stupid advice people sometimes give me.

        DanielNiccoli  Thanks for being insulting. In what way is it connected that makes it hard to disconnect? Just curious.
