    Change download location


    Hi,
    I have a fresh install, dual booting with Windows 7 and I just notice that my default download location folder for Windows 10 is set to my download folder in Windows 7.

    How can I change it to be set to Windows 10.

    Hopefully screen shot can explain better .

    What browser are you using? You need to set the default download folder location from within your browser.

    So, for example, in IE11:

    Even though I'm not looking to change any Edge settings, that is useful to know. Thanks for publishing the tutorial :)
