When I go into Storage in Settings, I get the "Couldn't Set Default Save Location 0x80070005" error. I would like to install Forza 7 on a different hard drive because
    it's 93GB and my SSD is already getting full. Is there a way to do so? If I try to install Forza 7 from the Store, I have a dropdown menu of all the drives available and when I choose the drive I want (GWe couldn’t set your default save location, Error 0x80070005 in Windows 10 :) and click "Install", nothing happens - I can just

    I found quite a lot of same posts on the internet about it. They you to give your self full permission in the packages folder. I already have that however. The help ends here from the internet and I don't know what to do now.
