My main drive is 24ish GB from full and I want to change my drive so I navigate to storage settings and the option for apps is greyed out. What now?

What Windows edition do you have?

Maybe this will help.

There is one little issue with changing the default installation directory of Windows Store apps. The apps installed before changing the default directory will have their data in the original location and updating these apps will produce an error. In order to avoid receiving the error, you can uninstall and reinstall all current Windows Store apps to relocate them to the new default location.

Thanks for the response. Yes I know I can choose the folder location outside of the Windows store, but I want to decide where apps are downloaded and installed from the Windows Store. Any other suggestions.
