    How can I change destination Drive downloading from Microsoft Store ?


    I just installed FilmForth from the Microsoft Download/Store , it automatically downloads and chooses the installation , I do not want Programs on my SSD because it is too small 250gb , I have a 2tb D drive and a 2tb E drive , one I use for My Documents and the other is strictly for Programs and Games , is there a way to stop anything I download from Microsoft Store from defaulting to my C drive ??? as I only want the OS on it and nothing else .....


    Any helpful info would be appreciated .... Thanks ..... Jim

    :)

    Cannot Download Anything From Microsoft Store

    I changed the DNS Servers to 8 8 8 8 and 8 8 4 4, but still no downloads. I finished my drive partition backups so the next step is the Microsoft Store on Tuesday. Wish me luck.

    Change file destination for movies from microsoft store

    I would like to change the file path and save destination for the movies I purchased through the Microsoft store to my external drive. Is that possible? I do not see any option when I go to download. I plan on purchasing a lot of movies and I do not want
    to clutter my internal memory if I can just move it to my external.

    Thank you.
