    Path Lengths on Different Drives


    I have files on a desktop drive and it does not have an issue with the Path Lengths.


    On another drive in the same machine if I copy the data it gives me the Path Too Long error if I copy it to that drive.


    I have already used Regedit to turn on allowing long path names.


    Is it an issue to due using Windows 10 Home?

    :)

    Path length limit

    Hello John,

    My name is Patricia and I am an Independent Advisor. I am here to help you today.

    Disable the path limit length is recommended after Python setup is successful, because if python was installed in a directory with a path length greater than 260 characters, adding it to the path could fail.

    So don't worry about that action and proceed to it.

    Path length limit

    I want to install Python. Should I disable the path length limit? Are there any negatives to doing so?
