    November Update on a machine with relocated Users folder


    Anyone tried to install the November Update on a machine with relocated 'Users' folder (per this guide)? Does it install? Or is it necessary to bring 'Users' back to C: before installing this update?

    :)

    How to move Users folder and all data to the second drive?

    w3w,

    I remember seeing similar reports for Windows 7. There is no sign that MS are going to change things.

    Windows does not have any problems with relocating the individual user folders within a C:\Users\Public or C:\Users\YourUserName folder. Windows updates would then proceed correctly.

    My SSD is only 120GB and these allowed relocations leave the drive very free.

    There is guidance on the relocation procedure in
    Relocate user folder    .

    Windows 10...maybe later (not possible to relocate you user profile folder)

    Arthur,

    You can relocate the folders within your C:\Users\YourUserName\ folder group instead - Documents, Music, Videos, Pictures, Searches, Favorites, Links.

    Windows 10 allows this and the relocations survive subsequent updates.
