    How can I change my Default Drive for Downloads from C to my internal D?


    I want to download Nvidia Control Panel, but my C Drive is too full and I want to download it on my internal D, but I cannot figure out how to make it download to my D. It automatically selects my C drive and I don't know how to tell it to download to my D. Can someone please tell me how to make D my Default Drive for downloads? Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Change program download drive from C to D

    My program default download drive is C, but it has much less storage space on it than my D drive. How can I change the default drive for program downloads to D so as to keep my C drive faster and functioning well.

    How can I change my Default Drive for Downloads from C to my internal D?

    App download keeps defaulting to D drive instead of C drive.

    DaveM121,

    If I do your first suggestion so I no longer see the D drive will that let me download and install the Nox player on my computer and will it automatically go to my C drive instead of the D drive like it has been doing?

    If I do your second suggestion again will I be able to download and install Nox player on my computer?

    And finally, which is the best all-a-round option?

    Thanks,
