Microsoft Edge will save items you want to download into your C:\Users\<username>\Downloads (%UserProfile%\Downloads) folder by default.

Here's How:

1 Open Microsoft Edge.

2 Click/tap on the Settings and more (Alt+F) 3 dots menu icon, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)



3 Click/tap on Downloads in the left pane, and click/tap on the Change button on the right side for the Downloads location. (see screenshot below)

5 You can now close the Settings tab in Microsoft Edge if you like.


That's it,
