Howdy y'all. I just picked up a new computer. Asus g15ce-b11. It came with windows 10 but I immediately installed 11. It has an SSD and hdd. I changed my default save location to the D drive (everything but new apps) I downloaded an audio file from YouTube as well as some video files off of a micro SD card and it still wants to put it on C drive. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I would like to have everything other than app go into the D drive.

So I take it changing the default save locations really doesn't do anything?
