Install options wont let me choose the right hard drive

MidnightDawn · Nov 18, 2021

I have a PC where I have a small SSD labeled (C) that is mostly school applications and I have a large hard drive labeled (D) where all of my games are stored.

Each time I try to install a game to the hard drive through the Xbox app it wont give me the option to choose my (D) drive. I have tried to change the default install drive to my (D) drive but it keeps switching back to (C)

How can I fix this?

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.

First check if the D drive is formatted to NTFS and not ExFAT. If it is ExFAT, you'll have to reformat it to the former in order to proceed.

Hope this helps

Hi you can Chose other Hard Drive, going in 3 points and chose other local

No, it won't let me choose where to install, where to move the files. I can only choose where to install only upon installation, not after.

Just start the game. You don't have to choose a "play from hard drive option". Once a game is installed it will automatically play from the hard drive no matter how you start it.
