Hello scopio, :)

Congrats on the new PC.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend to move system folders like those. I find that doing so could introduce unknown issues.

Thanks Brink for the quick response. That is why I asked a knowledgeable person like you if there could be issues by moving those folders. Thanks, Iwill take your recommendation and not move them.

I move my downloads folder to my new location but I would not move the public folder for reasons as Brink said.

Thanks swarfega, I am taking your recommendations.

Hello there, it's my first post here.

I have a problem. I upgraded my hard drive (D: ) and the Apps location came back to C: and I can't change it back to D:. I select D: and when I apply it comes back to C:

Same issue here. Searched everywhere and seems to be the only one out there who had the same problem as I did. Did you ever figure out a solution without a complete reinstall? I REALLY don't want to go that route.

Hi, two things.

1. You can move UWP apps to a new drive without uninstalling first. Simply go to the app in the Apps & features settings, click on it and choose move. Might want to update the note section of the tutorial.

2. Do you know if there is a way to install to\move apps to a NON-root location? It's rather annoying that if I set UWP apps to my K: drive it installs directly to the root and clutters it up with 3-4 folders.

Thanks!

Hello
I wanted to move windows app to another driver that I installed programs.(Program Files/Program Files(x86))

When I move new windows app installed to this drive, I see pop-up window that says “this drive has apps from another device.to use this drive, the other apps must first be deleted.”

What can I do ? If I select “yes”, what happened?
Thanks,
