Wish to download my Origin games on my SSD rather than HDD. How can I do this?

I wish to download some of my Origin games on my SSD but when I try to download a game I can't chose a destination folder to download the games in. Is this possible and how can I do this? Thanks

    Ok to solve this problem for anyone else out there :

    1. Open your Origin Client

    2. Click on Origin

    3. Select Application Settings

    4. A Settings window should pop up

    5. In the General tab there is a field where it says Downloaded Games

    6. Click on Change and select your desired folder location. Now Origin will download all your future games here!

    It was simple as that!

    One last thing though!

    Origin doesn't automatically move your previously downloaded games to your new folder destination! You have to manually move them!

    you imply previously downloaded games can be manually moved to a new drive, without having to re-download them from origin to the new drive??

    how do you do this without screwing up the registry, etc.
