    Getting Xbox app to use second Hard Drive


    Recently had to re-install windows 10. I have a HDD that i used to keep my Xbox App games on, but in the app settings it says it's not set up for installing games. Trying to change the drive for installing apps on to D in the windows settings doesn't work either.


    How do I get the Xbox app to just locate the drive with the already installed games on?

    :)

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
