Install Office 365 on D drive?


They took away the Location tab in 11.
I still have the location tab in my W11 laptop that I am using right now, just checked it again, would be surprised if it is gone.

It's not there for the Documents folder on my machine that I bought a few days ago. Weird.

Interesting. I'm on Home, version 21H2. I'm not doing builds, just releases at this point.

Absolutely! Installing Office 365 on a D drive is totally doable and will work just as it would if installed on the C drive. All you need to do is specify which directory you want Office 365 to be installed in when the installation prompts for it.

It's important to note that there are certain limitations when installing Office 365 on a non-system drive, such as potentially slower performance with some features and components, depending upon your hardware configuration. However, other than that this process should be straightforward.

The issue is that Office is a click to run application and it will NOT prompt for an install location during setup. it just load to C:\

If there was a prompt, this thread wouldn't exist.
