    So I am really looking forward to playing Forza Horizon 3 on PC when it comes out. My problem is that I install all my games on a separate HDD than my OS, and last I knew you couldn't change the install locations for games bought in the Windows 10 store. A quick Google search was no help, so I am coming to you! For a test, I tried installing Forza Apex earlier tonight. I clicked "Install" and it began to download instantly, no prompts asking where I would like to download it to. This wouldn't be much of an issue, but I only have around 30gb free on the SSD my OS is installed on. So is there a step I am missing somewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks duders!

    START > SETTINGS > SYSTEM > STORAGE

    Change what you need under "Save Locations"

    @thatbendorf: Yeah, it's dumb. It installed Killer Instinct and Forza Apex that way when I downloaded them.

    @thatbendorf: Yup! Everything you buy from the Win10 Store is considered an app.
