3. Can't install the game unless its on my C: Drive...

• I have been playing Sea Of Thieves for over 4 years now since the closed BETA where I fell in love with the game. I have recently built a new PC and my C: Drive is to small, I have attempted to install Sea of Thieves on my D: Drive on this PC and my other one and I am faced with 2 different issues every time. Issue 1 my D: Drive doesn't pop up, Issue 2 My D: Drive does pop up but it can only install to 90% an than proceed to get the error code 0x80070005. I have attempted to fix this issue through my settings, PowerShell commands, and command prompt. I have done everything on the support pages listed through Microsoft and attempted things told in YouTube Videos, I have also seeked help through some tech friends and still this error will not budge. I believe it has something to do with the Microsoft store because this is the only place I have ever had this issue within my 8+ years playing on PC. My 250GB storage is to small due to it having all my streaming, software installations, etc. on it. If you guys have any other ideas on how to fix this please let me know, if you could just give me a Steam code for the game, if possible that would be great considering the Sea of Thieves Insider Program works there.

  Some of the fixes I have tried given on the Microsoft website.

  Watched a few more but I can't find them sorry.

  Like said I have been having this issue since this game released and would like to have it installed on my 2TB storage and not my small C: Drive where all my Windows installations and Software's are.. :) thanks for taking your time to read this and assist me today, I think the best approach is the STEAM installation but if that's not doable and you guys have more ideas to fix this please let me know because I honestly feel like I tried everything listed and recommended by friends I have even gone onto the community page here in attempt to fix it but didn't find much. I just want to play the game again specially because i didn't get to play Adventure 3 nor finish the last season due to this issue being present.

• I have made a mistake with the videos I have include, oops... I have recently built a new PC and wanted to clean/wipe my drivers before booting them safely.

  Actual Videos Sorry...:

• For gamepass/MS Store games, I opened the xbox app clicked on my profile / settings / general -and under 'game install options' changed the default location to my storage drive; you may want to run 'sfc /scannow' on the OS as well.

   I was about to buy Game Pass for PC but I wanted to check out if I could install games on different drives as I recalled that being as issue back in Windows 8. I tried to change default installation directory in Xbox app and it doesn't let me select a different drive than C. I tried another partition on the same SSD, another SSD, an external HDD, all of them were rejected by the app. I found a thread from last year where people advised formatting perfectly fine drives which was locked by ad admin claiming "the problem is solved" when it persists a year later. I tried repairing the app, didn't

2. remove game data from xbox game in windows 10

   I appreciate your reply. It seems that the game progress was saved to your Xbox account associated on your computer that's why you can't play the game from the beginning. I recommend that you remove the account on your computer by performing the following
   steps:

   1. Press the Windows icon, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
   2. Select Accounts.
   3. Under Email & app accounts, click the Microsoft account, then click Remove.

   
   I also suggest that you reset the Xbox app on your computer so that we could ensure that no account is linked to it. To get started, kindly follow these steps:

   1. Press the Windows key, then select the gear icon to access Settings.
   2. Go to Apps.
   3. Under Apps & features, locate the Xbox app.
   4. Click the Xbox app, then select Advanced options.
   5. Click Reset.

   
   Let us know if that works for you. We'd be glad to further assist you.
