    Information The Movies & TV app is included with Windows 10, and let's you have all your movies and TV shows, all in one place, on all your devices.

    Movies & TV brings you the latest entertainment in one app on Windows. On your PC and Windows Mobile, the app lets you play and manage videos from your personal collection. On all your devices, you can use the app to browse and play movies and TV shows you’ve purchased from the Store.

    When you sign in to the Movies & TV app and purchase content from the Store, the device you signed in from will be automatically added as one of your download devices.

    You can download purchased content to up to five devices and redownload the content as many times as you like. Rentals can only be played on the device on which they were purchased. If you have reached the limit of five devices, you’ll need to remove one of the devices before you will be able to download on another device.

    The default download location for your purchased movies and TV shows is your %UserProfile\Videos folder.

    This tutorial will show you how to change the storage location of where new Movies & TV content is downloaded by default for your account in Windows 10.

    Where's my Movies & TV downloaded movie?

    Oh...of course. I didn't think to look there, because when I opened Settings in the Movies & TV app, it showed C: as the default download location (it still does for pictures, music, etc.). However, it seems that since I set up Windows to default videos to D:\Videos (on my data drive) when I built the computer, the app was already dropping downloads there in a subfolder called MOVIES. It would have been nice if that were made clear in the Movies & TV app, but that's the way it goes, I guess.

    Thank you for your quick and patient reply.

  5. Changing the default storage designation for the Microsoft Windows Store and various apps.

    Hi Isaac,

    The default storage location for the Windows store and apps is in system location where Windows is stored (This PC-> C drive), if you want to change the default location of the apps then I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the settings
    and check if it helps.

    • Open Settings and click on the System icon.
    • Click on Storage on the left side, on the right side under
      Save locations, select the drive to where you want your
      documents
      , music, pictures, and/or
      videos
      to be saved to by default.
    • Click/tap on Apply.

    The above settings option is available only from the Windows version (10586), I suggest you to check in which version of Windows build in installed on your computer.
