Saving documents on my hard disk

I can't save documents on my new MacBook Pro hard disk. Whenever I direct documents there I get an error message. How can this be sorted?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


You cannot save files directly on the root disk (Macintosh HD) because of the read-only system volume: About the read-only system volume in macOS Catalina - Apple Support.


You need to save files to a location within your Home Folder.
