    RE : Change where new content is saved


    Win 10 Home ver 1809 build 17763.253

    Settings > System > Storage > Change where new content is saved >SD (E:)

    I tried to save a new game from Windows Store to my sd card which has 60+ GB free disk space.
    No matter which location(s) I chose, the install will fail.
    If I changed it back to default This PC, no problem.

    Maybe the option is not meant for video games ?

    Do you want to run games on a sd card? I know Steam supports it, no idea about the Microsoft Store though. It should be as simple as formating and creating an empty directory on it. You need to have a directory to install games to. If this doesn't work then I don't know. I don't get much results on this inquiry either, and I'm no expert on this topic. It should be noted however that sd cards aren't really recommended to run games onto, even if they are non-volatile. They are extremely slow and have bad durability. Older or simple games will work fine, probably.
