    Tips for changing drive install on xbox app


    Ok So I noticed that some people were having issues with the Xbox App not letting them change their install location. Here's a Few things to check first

    #1. Make sure the drive is set up as NTFS

    #2. Make sure a folder is available, the drive can't be empty.

    #3. Install a game there manually, then go and change the drive location.

    Try those three things first.

    Xbox (Beta) app don't download on D drive

    Is it an external USB drive?

    If it is I had this problem.

    I would suggest changing where the xbox app itself is being installed to an internal drive then making the change so that the games themselves are installed to the external USB drive.

    Unable to change installation drive in xbox app.

    Try changing the default location for new apps in Windows to your desired drive:

    Go to Start (Windows Start) -> Settings -> System -> Storage -> Change where new content is saved (under 'More Storage Settings'). Change the setting "New Apps will install to:" to the drive you want to use.

    After that, restart your computer and see if you can change the Xbox App default drive for installations.

    Xbox App

    So, did you try changing where apps are installed by default already and on Xbox app you can’t select that drive?

    Can't change install location on Xbox app for pc

    Similar problem. Solution did not work. Partitions are ntfs, but some drives do not allow me to change folder. they will show up in settings- general-drive letter in gamepass app. but not have option to change folder underneath option to select drive. I presume that it's a permission error, and followed Lucas' instructions, no bueno.

    I also selected new apps installed to this drive from within windows settings and reinstalled xbox app so that it installed to this drive.

    Gioco installato su HD esterno tramite PC fisso non viene riconosciuto dal Notebook [Game installed on external HD via fixed PC is not recognized by the Notebook]

    Hello Robwing85,

    Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

    Have you tried changing the install location to the external drive in the Xbox App on the notebook?

    • Launch the Xbox App on your notebook
    • Click your profile icon
    • Click “Settings”
    • Select “General”
    • Under “Game install options” you should see “Change where this app installs games by default”
    • Select the external drive from drop down menu
    • Close out the app entirely and then relaunch it
    This may cause the Xbox app to recognize that there are games installed on the external drive.
