Now your answer may be, I can install increase the “ C” drive partition size. But, the problem starts when “ C” is full, and you want to install all new programs or applications on another empty drive under your computer.
There is nothing wrong with it Windows automatically detects and stores all files/folders in the Program Files folder under the “C” drive. That means, when you install a program or software on your PC, it will automatically take place on “ C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86),” depending upon the 64-bit or 32-bit app. How do I change the installation path from “C” to another drive in Windows 11? If you perform a clean installation of Windows 11, all Windows files, including Program Files, get stored in a “ C” drive.
