Gears 5 wants to pre-install on the wrong partition

VinnyPereiraM · Sep 3, 2019

I selelected to pre-download Gears 5 on PC, through Xbox app, and now it wants to make an update (?), and it won't do because it needs to "free some space".

It wants to install the game update on my small HD (C drive with 30GB) when I have a larger HD (D drive with 400GB), which is also set as standard for installations.

How do i make it change the install disk? it doesn't let me change disk only let me free space on the wrong disk.

Even I had this issue it seems to be an annoying common bug that exists right now

Go to settings on W10 -- > System --> Storage, and then click on "Change the new storage location", and there you can select your big HDD.

It worked for me, at least. Once you've installed it, you can change your main hdd to C again.

PS: My computer language is not english so I've translated it, but the path to follow is very simple

It seems the game wants to be installed on the C drive, or the Windows drive....

HI There VinnyPereiraM,

Depending on your setup for your partitions you can point the installation to C:\ by default but look at where the game is being installed and then make a folder on the second drive and point it to that location i.e. D:\.

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards
