RTod Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I bought MSFS2020. Paid for the Premium version. So, I set up to download it and the installer will not see anything except my C drive. I get on the phone with Support and they tell me that it MUST be installed on the C drive with the OS !!! Well, like many, I dont have room on the C drive. That is why I installed three other drives on my PC. P3D v5 loaded just fine to my E drive. XP11 loaded just fine to my D drive. BUT MSFS 2020 will NOT install to my F drive and according to MS Support, it never will because it is only meant to go on the C drive. WTF!!!!! That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard!!! I put in for a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainsman Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 This is misinformation! Yes, a small package has to be on the C: drive, but the vast majority of the program can be installed on a different permanent drive.

I thought it was the dumbest thing I ever heard. BUT...what about the installers? Why does it only show my C drive and then tell me its not big enough an cannot install? It says it needs 127.9 Gig of room on my C. A few files I get , but 127.9 gig??? I only have 22 gig left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have MSFS on my G: drive, so it is possible. Try going to Settings->System->Storage. Click the "Change where new content is saved" option near the bottom. From here, try changing the "New apps will save to" setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
