Hi! When I bought FH3 on pc, I don’t recall being able to choose where to install the game so it went on the default drive with my OS. Since Forza 7 is going to be like 100gb, can I choose a different drive to install it on? My OS drive in only a 250gb ssd, and it has like 90 gb free. Even if I delete some stuff I would still be looking at running the drive almost at max capacity which I will not do. I have 3 other drives, a 500gb ssd for games, and 2 2tb hdd for other stuff. Ideally I would like to install the game on the other SSD, but as I said before I don’t remember having that option with Horizon 3. Any info here would be greatly appreciated!
Hey MooRome, it should let you select the drive you want to download the game to. I did the same thing and made room on my SSD just for this game.
You COULD choose a different drive in Horizon 3. I don’t see it being any different for Forza 7.
Settings - system - storage - change where new content is saved - new apps will save to (choose what drive). I installed H3 on my secondary D: non ssd drive.
When i purchased the game from the store, it asked me which drive. So you can install it wherever you want, thats my guess.
When I installed the demo, it asked me where I wanted to install it, I told it where, it ignored my choice and put it on my C: drive!!
I stumbled upon the ability to move it via “Add Remove Programs”. It had an option to move the demo, and it actually did it!
A bit annoying, but the end result was what I wanted.
To answer the question directly. No you cannot choose where to install any Windows 10 Store game. Nor can you back them up to install later or on a different PC. There is a popup that asks what drive you’d like to install the game to but you cannot specify anything beyond that. Annoying to those of use who use custom folders on second or third drives depending on the game. I had my games installed to D:\Games and then further from there depending on the platform. So Steam is D:\Games\Steam, Origin is D:\Games\Origin\Origin Games and so on. I ended up just grabbing another drive specifically for Windows games since not only is it very disorganized but it seems to dump runtimes into the root of the drive.
