Hi

Just wondering can games and apps purchased from Microsoft store for Windows 8 be installed in a different location or partition?

I'm just wondering because this will effect the SSD size I'm getting for the OS as boot drive.

Example: Windows 8 now has apps like Android with the Metro UI that can be purchased from the Windows app store, the apps and games be installed into another location eg. second hard drive or partition.

I'm sorta interested in the Xbox games for Windows which is essentially Xbox Live games on Windows which looks promising given programmers need time to bring good Xbox Live titles over to windows 8 but my main concern is if the games can be installed on a secondary drive or partition.

Thanks in advance,
