    SSD 1 = C: Boot driveSSD 2 = D: main drive, N: and U: alternate partitionsThe issue is that I cannot set my default Windows App save location Settings>System>Storage>Where new content is saved to my D: drive my C: is a boot drive.

  3. "We couldn`t create a new partition or locate an existing one."

    Try this:

    Before you get to that message, press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.

    Run diskpart.
    At the diskpart prompt, run these commands:

    list disk

    At this point you should see the SSD as disk 0. If it has another disk number, use that number rather than "0" in the next command.

    select disk 0
    clean
    exit (to exit from diskpart)
    exit (to exit from the command prompt)

    That should clear the contents of the disk. The entire disk space should then show up in Windows setup as "Unallocated Space" as in the screenshot below.
