    How to download apps onto external storage device


    Hey ya, I recently received a gaming laptop, and I planned on downloading big games such as Call of Duty, and Total War. So i brought an external storage system. But no matter what I do, the apps would be downloaded onto the main hard drive rather than the external one.

    :)

    Update Assistant does not detect External Storage Device

    I am currently facing an issue with the update assistant. The problem comes from the prompt as seen from this webpage

    Free up space for Windows 10 updates

    The issue is in "Step 2: Connect an external storage device". It says to
    "Connect your external storage device and wait until you see it in the drop-down list" but the external storage device already connected to my device (and shows up on My PC) is not shown on the drop down list. Can you help?

    Follow the steps.

    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.
    • Expand the Storage Controller.
