Windows 10: I can’t move the Microsoft game folder to my flash drive even though I have made myself the...

I don’t have wifi at my house. Therefore, I download things onto my laptop at places with wifi and then transfer it to a flash drive. Then I transfer it to my desktop. I recently bought a game (Sea of Thieves) and downloaded it onto my laptop. But sadly, unlike Steam games, it cannot be transferred to a flash drive to my desktop. Therefore I will have to somehow find a way to get my desktop to an internet location. I have no clue what to even do. This is extremely annoying that this cannot be done. One would think that if Microsoft could do it, but no they cannot. I am very disappointed in Microsoft. This feature needs to be incorporated for people with situations like mine.

Game on a flash drive?

in a way a flash drive is a just a mini SSD drive but a lot slower, it should work fine with the game but i wouldent recomend it for other games that need lots of power and speed.

how big is the flash drive and how is it formated and how big is the game after its usualy installed.

i've never tryed it but this might work.

format the flash drive in NTFS / default allocation size.
Create a folder called Programs.
insert the cd and start the install process and when asked where you want to install the game choose the flash drive and the program folder and see if that works.
