Install on Alternate Drive

[PicaGrove]

How do you install Illustrator on a drive other than the default C: drive?

Thanks

Hi,

Open your Creative Cloud desktop application manager, click on the gear symbol,and select Preferences then choose Creative Could then Choose Install location and change it where you want to install. After that install your desire app to that location.

Great, thanks much

If it causes issues I'll have to transfer the OS to the new drive, right now my 250GB SSD is WAY to full, I got a new 1TB SSD drive that I want to put all my software on and leave the OS on the C drive with plenty of breathing room

Eric,

I believe it is safer, if possible, to keep applications (maybe especially Adobe ones) on the OS drive and throw everything else into the other drive (documents, backups of crucial stuff, and whatnot); the safety also includes the possible rescue of your own files if the OS drive perishes.

erico,

I am afraid the installation on another drive is generally discouraged, owing to adverse experience.
