Windows 10: Change storage location of Microsoft Store games

I know it is possible to change the default locations for apps from within the Storage menu in Settings, but is it possible to set the location for just the apps marked as Games? I use an other partition for games and want to keep things seperated and organized.

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.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you

I have an SSD installed specifically for games and want to install the games onto it. Here is a screenshot with the games drive (G) not listed.
