When you install the Oculus app on your PC computer, it'll install on the C: drive. If you want to install the app on a different system drive, make sure the new system drive has sufficient free disk space and is formatted to use the NTFS file system.
To install the Oculus app on a different system drive:
-
1.Press the Windows key + R to open the Run command
-
2.Enter the following path: [drive]:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe/drive=[new system drive]
-
Replace [drive] with the letter of the drive where Oculus was downloaded to.
-
Replace [new system drive] with the letter of the new drive you'd like to install Oculus to.
-
Examples:
-
C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=D
-
C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive:D
-
-
-
3.Click OK.
The Oculus app will then open and attempt to install the app on the new drive you've chosen.

Does this only work with internal hard drives because I tries this with an external and it would not allow it.

it works. Make sure the path is correct and put a space between “OculusSetup.exe and /drive=[new system drive]” THANKS

Dear Mark, why doesn’t the app (when you download it) offer a built-in way to alter installation path. It’s honestly a joke and you should change it instead of getting hundreds of people to hate on it. JUST CHANGE IT.

This works however its missing one key detail
Enter the following path: [drive]:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe/drive=[new system drive]
This line needs a space in between OculusSetup.exe and /drive=[new system drive] So it should look like this
[drive]:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\OculusSetup.exe /drive=[new system drive]
