As with many other services, EA's Origin game download client will automatically install things on your PC's main drive — the one Windows is installed on. This might not be a problem if you only have a single, large capacity drive. But if you're running a combination of a small SSD and a large mass storage HDD, you'll need to point Origin to the larger drive so you don't waste precious flash storage space.
The Origin client also recently started getting an overhaul, and things aren't quite as obviously easy to find any more. Here's what you need to do.
- In the top menu bar, select Origin.
- Click on Application settings.
- Select Installs and saves from the window you now see.
- Under on your computer find game library location.
- Click change folder.
- Select or create the desired folder on your mass storage drive.
- Click select folder.
This won't affect any installs you already have on your PC but it will mean that anything that you download in the future will go to it. Simple as that!
