Windows 10: I need to change the "new apps will save to" feature.

My laptop has very little space so I got a USB drive to add more storage. I mainly got it to add more storage for games. When I go to the settings it says that the USB drive is connected. I go to the system in the settings to change it so when I install apps it installs it into the USB drive. The thing is that its locked. I can change it for pictures and documents but I cant change it for apps. Do you guys know how I can change it?

how to save new apps by changing default location?

Hello,





In Windows 10, applications that are downloaded from Windows Store are automatically installed in the Windows Apps Folder. However, if you want your apps to be installed on another drive you can follow the steps bellow:

• Click on Start > Settings > System >
  Storage.
• Go to the Save Locations section,
• Click on the drop down menu below New apps will save to and then select the desired partition or drive.
  

Windows 10 will automatically install apps downloaded from the Windows Store in the new installation folder. For the ones that were already installed in your system, you can move them manually to the new location by:

• Go to Start > Settings > System >
  App & features.
• Launch a search by typing the name of the desired app into the Type an app name field. Once found, select the app from the list and click on the
  Move button.
• Select the destination drive and click Move.

Should you have further questions please let us know.

 

New features and improvements coming to Windows 10

You've gotta be kiddin' me. There must be some way to disable this "Get the App" notification or else I'm staying away from Windows 10 for good. Total nonsense. This feature won't be available to Enterprise users, will it?

Five good reasons for me to stick with W7

"For discovery and engagement, Microsoft will add a "Suggested" list, which will deliver smart suggestions of apps from the Windows Store if after a while you haven't installed any apps. You can also notice that the app tile also provides star rating and pricing information for a particular app."

"As the system learns your behavior using and installing apps, the Suggested list will become the "Recently added" list of apps. And when the users use the app enough, the apps will then get listed in the "Most used" list."


"Microsoft's Belfiore also noted that with these new tweaks, the Start menu is pretty much a final product. As such, we don't expect any more significant changes beyond what we see today."


"Cortana will also feature app discoverability from the Windows Store as users use search."


"Future updates of Microsoft Edge will include a new "New Tab" window with the most recent links users have visited in the form of tiles. If the site they visited has an app available in the Windows Store, you will see "Get the app" notification in the link tile as well."
