    Hello! Today I decided to switch to windows 11. I have a harddisk and a ssd. When I want to install an app, I click on setup, and I want to install it on hhd, but somehow it doesn't ask for the installation path and automaticly installs on ssd. Please help me to disable the option to automaticaly install the apps on ssddisk C, and get the abillity to choose the path

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Windows 11 apps installing location ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

    Windows 11 apps installing location

    Getting Windows 10 to recognize an old app install location

    Hello Luke,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I would like to inform you that you will need to re-install the game as some components of the game might not work properly which can cause the game to crash. However, you can download and install the game/apps from the store on an external drive.



    Here are the steps on how you can install program to a different drive from a store.

    • Go to windows settings.
    • Then click on System and then on Storage.
    • Under "Save locations," and on "New apps will save to," select the new drive location.


    Once you completed the steps, new apps you download from the Windows Store will now install automatically in the new location.



    Hope it helps.
