Greetigns for all!!

I have a little space in my hard disc. So I would like to know if is posible to change the location of the installation to a External Disc from the window that I add in the picture 1.

Or what is the best way to save space on my hard drive with Adobe? 

Thank you so much for your help

Correct answer ROBERMARTIN

you're welcome.

and no. you can't install your apps on an external device. you can save your production files anywhere, even off-compt.

Thanks a lot for your help. I had to format the disk and re-install the same system other time, and I could recovery 200 Gb of free memory in the hard disc. I am so happy now 🙂

You have the wrong computer. This is not adequate for running high end design apps. (You can of course keep your media on an external disk).

No, you need to install the programs on an internal drive. All your data can be kept on an external drive.

No, Adobe apps cannot be installed on removable media. There's no way around it: You have to get a bigger internal disk or install a second one if you can.

Thank you so much for your help. My disc is 250 Gb, but I work with audio and video and I only have 50 Gb free in this moment, but If is posible to add other disc more, this can be a solution for my problem.

Your disk size is still relatively small. Besides having a large primary hard drive, you can have a second drive (even external) for your media. Keeping your programs and projects on different drives is worth doing.

If you get a second internal drive and try install programs on it, you will still need space (can be 4GB+) on the primary drive for the application to install and run.
