    How can I get games to install onto my secondary HDD from the windows store and xbox app...


    I wanted to install the new flight simulator but I don't have enough space on my SSD which is my primary. My HDD used to be my old primary before I got the SSD but now I just use it as the secondary drive. But when I go into settings to change the default app install location to my HDD it tells me that it has apps from another device on it and I will have to delete them. I click yes then an error pops up with the code 0x80070005. I saw a few questions similar to this on this site as well as other forums but none of the solutions I have found have worked. I was hoping that I would be able to solve it here. I would rather not delete everything on my HDD if possible since there is 1.5 TB of stuff on there and would take a while to put back on. Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)
