  1. How to assign game pass games location after Fresh Windows Install


    As the title suggests, I'm trying to find out how to tell the Microsoft xbox games pass for windows beta app that all my games and (I think?) saves are installed on my e:/


    I like to keep my (Os) c:/ clean, and reinstall windows often. Also, I do the occasional motherboard upgrade that requires a fresh install.

    Every other app this basic requirement is quite simple - You just point the app to the folder on e:/ and most of your installed games appear. One, you just copy the old apps folder to the new.


    I have a very, very slow connection in China and to download this all again would take close to a month. On top of that, web browsing grinds to a halt whilst xbox app is downloading and lots of games have to be downloaded 3 or 4 times.


    How do I either:

    a) backup everything to an external drive

    Or

    B) just point the xbox app to the folder on e:/?


    Thanks

    :)

    Hi Bat,

    I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

    These are the games free with the pass.

    However, the exact difference can be told by experts on the Xbox forum so suggest you to start a question there.
