    Install on another drive other than C?


    So i have the latest windows 10 version, but i cannot seem to install apps to any where except the C drive. And the option to change is disabled. See image attached.

    Why is it disabled? How do I get it to work ?

    I am on windows 10 pro if that matters.

    :)

  2. Another Way to install local apps other than windows store

    First try to get XAP file, next download the file on your computer, now move it to your phone's SD card and

    install it. But, it should be listed in the WP marketplace for you install through the XAP file.

    What build/version of 10 are you on? Run WINVER from cmd line or Cortana. I am on 10586.29 and all is fine, not greyed out. In the link davidhk gave you, there is a comment stating MS was withholding that option for a while. I just wonder if you are on an old build/version.

    It says i am on build: 10240

    So i am on an old build, why isn't it updating? I did windows update, doesn't seem to be updating it though ?

    You are right. The Move option is not doing anything.

    By the way, I am on 10586.29 and I don't get what you showed in your screenshot.
    I clicked on the This PC and not drop down box appeared.

    Install on another drive other than C?

    How are you guys on a later version than i am ? I thought it would update on its own? Do i have to force it to update the build?

    Happened to a lot of people. If you follow the instructions, and choose to keep your files and settings, it will upgrade, hopefully to 10586.29. It's not really a hassle, just takes some time. It will do the same routine as if you had gotten it thru WU......

    P.S. - Backup first!

    Maybe a bit of a hassle now but it may save a lot of grief (and time) later, boot sectors get mixed up often. It's been like that for many earlier Windows and other OSes before, W10 doesn't have patent to it.
