How to Move Installed Apps to a Different Location in Windows 10

When using a device with limited storage, applications and games downloaded from the Microsoft Store can quickly fill up the system drive. The problem lies not in the number of apps, but in their size—some games and applications consume significant amounts of space.

Thankfully, Windows 10 provides an option to move already installed apps and games to a different drive. This can help free up valuable space on the main system drive and allow for better storage management, especially if you're using external drives.

Steps to Move Installed Apps to Another Drive:
Step 01: Open Apps & Features

Right-click on the Windows icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen.
From the context menu, select Apps & features.
Step 02: Choose the App or Game to Move

In the Apps & features window, scroll through the list or use the search bar to find the app or game you want to move.
Once located, click on the app to reveal more options.
Step 03: Move the App

Click the Move button underneath the app's name.
A new window will appear, allowing you to select the destination drive from the drop-down menu.
Step 04: Select the Destination Drive

From the drop-down menu, choose the drive where you want to move the app.
Click the Move button again to confirm and start the relocation process.
Once the move is complete, the app will reside on the selected drive, freeing up space on the main system drive.

Important Notes:
Not All Apps Can Be Moved: Certain built-in Windows 10 apps and some applications from the Microsoft Store may not support the "Move" feature.

Performance Considerations: If you're moving apps to an external drive, ensure the drive is fast enough to handle the app's performance requirements. External SSDs typically provide better performance than external HDDs for applications.

Conclusion
Moving apps and games to another drive is a useful feature for managing limited storage on Windows 10 devices. While not all apps can be moved, this feature can help prevent your main system drive from becoming overloaded, improving overall performance and providing more room for critical system files.
