  1. How do I move x box app to the D drive


    I just got a new machine, (lenovo legion ryzen 7 500tb drive) that came with windows10 and a 500 gig storage device, After I install W11, I would like to add a 1 tb as my D drive and then transfer my xbox app and all xboz apps and install all future games to the D drive. Will this work-, settings/apps/apps & features/xbox then select move in the dropdown menu? Can I select the other xbox apps and move them to the d drive too? Thanks

    :)

    Change Xbox app storage settings

    Click on the profile icon near the top-right and select Settings from the flyout menu. Go to the General tab. Click on the drop-down menu under Change where this app installs by default. Select the desired drive from the list of options.

    How do I move x box app to the D drive

    Thanks for the quick response. I would like to point out that it is not a usb drive but an internal ssd (WD_BLACK 1TB SN750 SE NVMe). Since this drive is 2x as large as the c drive it is where I want to store my video game data. What I would like to do is set up the x box app to automatically save and run the game from the D drive. This is a gift to my 12 yo grandson and I would like it to be as hassle free for him as possible. I don't want him to have to select the D drive everytime he installs a new game or have to select the D drive when he wants to play the game. Thanks again for the help.

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    Moving the apps would not work, but you can choose to download all Xbox games to drive D. To do that, you need to format the drive to NTFS and then choose to install your games on it.

    - Open Windows 10 File Explorer (Windows + E), locate and right-click on the USB drive, select "Format".

    - Set the NTFS as the target file system, tick "Quick Format" and click "Start" to start the formatting.

    - When the process completes, click "OK" to confirm.

    Afterwards try to use it again.

    How do i add space from 1 drive to another.

    Hi,

    You can't transfer space from D drive to C drive because these drives are a separate physical storage devices. You should be able to install games directly to the D:\ drive. You can move installed games and apps between drives though.

    You'll need to free up some storage from your C:\ drive soon, either by moving games and apps to your D:\ drive or uninstalling unused apps or games from the C:\ drive. If you don't free up storage you won't be able to update your Windows installation.

    This guide explains how to move games to different drives. How you move them depends what system the game was installed with (Xbox App, Steam, Epic), but all the main one's are included here.

    Unable to change installation drive in xbox app.

    Move the apps to D

    To do this, head to Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Click an app and click the “Move” button. You'll be prompted to select another drive, and you can then click “Move” to move the app to that drive. If you see a “Modify” button instead of a move button, you've selected a traditional desktop app.
