Saving on different harddrive?

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

Good morning

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble saving your Xbox games to a different hard drive. It can be frustrating when things don't work as expected.

First, it's important to note that changing the default save location for Xbox games can sometimes be a bit tricky, especially if you have already purchased games and have saved them on your original hard drive. However, it is possible to change the default save location for future downloads.

To change the default save location for Xbox games, follow these steps:

Open the Xbox app on your PC and click on your profile picture.

Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

Click on "System" from the left-hand menu.

Under "Storage," click on "Change where new content is saved."

Select the new hard drive where you want your games to be saved and click "Apply."

Once you've changed the default save location, any new games you download should automatically save to the new location. However, if you have already downloaded games to your original hard drive, you may need to move them manually.

To move games to a different hard drive, follow these steps:

Open the Xbox app on your PC and click on "My Library" from the left-hand menu.

Find the game you want to move and click on it to open the game details.

Click on the three-dot menu icon and select "Manage game & add-ons."

Click on "Move" under "Installation options."

Select the new hard drive where you want to move the game and click "Move."

It's possible that your downloads are reverting back to the C: drive because you haven't moved the games that are already on that drive to the new location. Once you've moved all of your games to the new hard drive, they should stay there.

Your hard drive must be properly formatted to use GamePass games

Is your F drive a physical hard drive inside your computer, formatted with NTFS?

Uninstalled xbox. Reinstalled and payed for a subscription again. When i pressed install the game it is the same. Switching to C: and stops at 24.2GB and it is 53.6 gb file.

Check the health of the hard drive you are trying to download the game to. You can do this by running a disk check in Windows. To do this, open File Explorer, right-click on the hard drive you want to check, select "Properties," click on the "Tools" tab, and then click on "Check" under the "Error checking" section. This will scan the hard drive for errors and potentially fix any issues.

Try downloading the game to a different hard drive or location on your PC to see if the issue is specific to the hard drive you are currently using.
