Hello Windows Universe!
Michael with The Windows Club. In today's

00:11.360 --> 00:14.799
video, we will go over how to change the
default program files

00:14.799 --> 00:18.560
installation directory location in
Windows 10.

00:18.560 --> 00:22.320
Do not worry, we will link an article in
the description below that will go

00:22.320 --> 00:27.039
further into depth on the subject.
As always, it is important to create a

00:27.039 --> 00:31.039
system restore point before making
any changes to your computer in case

00:31.039 --> 00:35.840
there is a change that is
unwanted. Let's start by

00:35.840 --> 00:43.040
opening the registry editor.

00:43.040 --> 00:48.480
Once you've opened registry editor, you
want to go to HKEY local machine,

00:48.480 --> 00:57.280
then software, then look for Microsoft.

00:57.280 --> 01:05.439
You want to go to Windows,

01:05.439 --> 01:11.760
and finally to current version.
Look in the right plane for either

01:11.760 --> 01:16.960
program files directory
or programs file directory 86, depending

01:16.960 --> 01:20.080
on whether or not you have a 32 or 64
bit.

01:20.080 --> 01:23.200
Double click on it

01:23.200 --> 01:29.840
and change the value from say the C
drive program files to say

01:29.840 --> 01:37.920
perhaps D drive. Click ok,
and then exit. Restart your computer to

01:37.920 --> 01:44.320
let the changes take effect.
That's it! Did you try this method? How

01:44.320 --> 01:47.600
did it work for you?
