How to change the default install location for installing Creative Cloud apps? I have a new PC (Windows 11) and want to install apps on D drive (not C). Installing CC itself was a surpise (no options, just install and it's on default C drive in Progam Files), but at least I want to put my apps on the other drive.
No... all programs in a cloud subscription install on your local hard drive
I never install to anything other than my C drive, but my "general" understanding is you are allowed to select a different drive during a fresh install, so you MAY need to uninstall everything and start over
John, let me start start from the beginning. I'm experienced CC user (10 - 15 years, on several PCs with Windows), I know the differences between classic and cloud versions. Yestereday I purchased a new PC with Windws 11 Pro and wanted to install CC there. My surprise was that the newest release gives you no options where to install Adobe products. It simply installs them to default Program Files folder on C drive. Doesn't matter if it is CC or Photoshop or any other CC app I tried (several times). CC (now it's not a stand-alone app - only web site based) gives you only option "Install" or "..." (when You can read about particualr app or choose older version). Choosing "install" runs prompt install to default folder. Usual way - using the little gear icon in the upper right corner, choosinge Preferences and changing Install Location path is no longer an options - because there are no little gear icon or Preferences folder.
Since you say Adobe has changed the install process there is no other help I may offer
