Windows 11 fixes this bewildering flaw that’s bugged PC gamers for a decade
Windows 11 gamers rejoice, get out the party poppers, and crack the champagne open – for you can now specify a drive location to install your purchases from the Microsoft Store.
As you’re likely aware – if you have any truck with the store – if you buy a game, you’re stuck with having to install it on your system drive. Meaning that if you have a secondary drive, there’s no possibility of choosing to put a game on there at installation.
Until now, that is. With version 22310 of the Microsoft Store app, you can now select a drive to install your game, as flagged by a Microsoft engineer on X (formerly Twitter).
New Microsoft Store update just dropped, v22310. Available for all users. You can now select which drive to install games like Starfield, Halo, and Minecraft 🎮
Worked great when I installed Sea of Stars, one of my GOTY 🥰
Hope you like it. Send feedback! Team is listening 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/N2J1z5ouKD
