Unlike other Windows software that allows you to select the installation directory during installation, the Adobe Creative Cloud app does not offer this option. But you can still install individual Adobe apps like Photoshop and Premiere on your preferred location. In this article, we will show you how to change the Adobe installation directory for newer as well as existing installation.
How do I change where Adobe installs to?
1. Change from the Adobe Creative Cloud interface
Creative Cloud will automatically install all the fresh installation of Adobe files in the newly selected directory. If you already have the apps installed, you need to uninstall and reinstall the Adobe apps one by one to move it to the new directory. Adobe Creative Cloud installer failed to initialize? Follow the simple steps from this guide and fix the problem in no time.
2. Use Robocopy to move installed files
