Curious to learn if you managed to do that without having to move the whole xBox Games folder to your F: drive?

And if indeed you found a way to install into C:\xBox Games just the core, like in 2020, and setup a folder for the main content under, say, F:, then please give me some clues on how to do that because I was not able to at least in the Alpha preview ...

The folder structure appears to be the same, so you may well be able to either choose a location for the Content on Tuesday at install, or failing that, move the Content after install, and update the location in the usercfg.opt file, just like 2020.

Not really a pre-install question, but do we know if the world update content from 2020 is part of the base in 2024, or do we need to select or even install it?

All the world updates are part of the day 1 streaming database as far as I’m aware.

I purchased the MS Store version. I want to install in a folder on my D-Drive, D:\MSFS2024 Folder. Do I simply change the default C:\XboxGames folder to my D:\MSFS2024 Folder? I ask because in MSFS2020 I know it needed to install files in the Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder but later in the installation it allowed me to point to my D:\MSFS2020 folder. 

So will it only prompt me one time or like 2020?

Thanks
