unable to install games from xbox store to other drives

Hi all

long time subscriber to xbox game pass and upgraded to PC a while ago too. Unfortunatly any game i seem to install these days to PC isn't playable and once downaloaded i get a error code Code: 0x80070005

now it even says when i start to install that the game cannot be installed on a different drive to windowsapp, this is currently stored in c drive and is not large enough to install games on. so i use e drive to install things too

this does seem to make xbox ultimate a waste of money if i can't play games. is there a way to move windowsapp

Hi, my name is Fernando and I am an independent consultant for Microsoft products.

The drive that you want to install the games must be formatted using NTFS file system...

Follow the steps to format your drive to the correct format, reboot an try to install again:
