How to change default Windows Security Updates installation location

[ska4reak]

Hello,
I would like to change the default installation location of all of my Windows Security Updates and Hotfixes on my server so that my C drive does not fill up in a month. Is it possible at all to maybe install all of those files at some other drives? If so, how? I would greatly appreciate any help I can get in this matter.
Thank you.

If that is you major concern, you are in trouble!
I can only advice you to upgrade your diskspace ASAP!
At todays prices, there is no excuse not to.

Are you using WSUS in which to update the server or servers?

No, unfortunately I'm not. We run a small business in every sense of the phrase and we cannot afford to get a separate WSUS/SUS server due to financial reasons and my lack of knowledge on that topic to run and maintain one (be it in the same or separate machine for that matter).
Dell created two logical volumes on a RAID array comprising of 3 SCSI drives. Those volumes are namely C and D. C, as you might imagine is the system drive; also the one that is getting filled up pretty quickly. On the other hand, D has all the space in the world.
I am ready to uminstall all the updates/hotfixes and start all over again if that is what it's gonna take for me to install those files in the D drive.
Please adivse.

Add a disk to the RAID and extend the C drive, problem solved, cost: 1 disk.
