Install Mysteries

Hi I’m not that IT savvy and there are some things about the FS install that confuse me.

In the past its been simple - the installer asks you to choose a path and it is installed with no fuss. Somehow I managed to get this game installed on a drive other than C: (my E drive which is a 1TB SSD). However:

  • There is also a mirror of the install on C: full of shortcuts
  • The install on E: mirrors a C drive user path

Also, when I downloaded the update , the install window showed the C: path but in fact it installed in the correct E path.

All very confusing. I have searched the forums but cannot find any basic description of the installation strategy that MS is using. Been thinking about uninstalling and starting again.

Can anyone provide clarification. Am I missing something?
