Store Content Install Help

butterfly61

I am trying to install my content but I have a problem, my son put Windows 10 on the c drive, my other hard drive is the on the m drive. The c drive is a solid state hd and smaller meaning to only have windows on it. The store is downloading to the c drive and I need to change that to the m drive. Anyone know how I can do that or post a link so I can read how to do it? Thanks so much for any help.

Instead of fighting with the store install process or the Launcher, I believe what you probably want is a Symbolic Link to your entire Documents folder/library. Or at least a redirected one. That way anything that is supposed to go into a "Documents" type of folder location should seamlessly get routed to M instead of C. There are tons of sites on the web that explain Symbolic Links, this may not be the most user friendly but it came up along with a zillion others on a google search just now.

Thanks so much, if I can't figure it out hopefully my son can. I appreciate the help.

Awesome! I've been managing redirected user desktops and documents folders in a network environment for years (not this way, using server tools) but never had the need to set this kind of thing up for a standalone computer. Glad it helped.

My son is studying Computer Science, thankfully he is pretty good at this stuff.
