Request 1: Option to move User File Partition During Installation

Option to select default drive/location for user files including:

  • Documents
  • Music
  • Video
  • Downloads
  • Desktops
  • Favourites
  • OneDrive
  • Offline Files

This would be best placed during setup after  "Where do you want to install Windows?"

There should be the option of where do you want your user files? The default setting should be on the same drive and custom (advanced) should be greyed out if only one drive/partition was detected in the earlier screen.

Selecting custom (advanced) should list the other drives for example…

Windows would be installed on C: which in this example could be a small SSD 250 GB SSD.

The user files would be installed on D: which would be a 1000 GB HDD.

This configuration is becoming standard. The 256 GB drive is too big to be a mere cache drive and cache SSDs often cause issues. It is however too small in my case and the case of all other users to install all the programs and to save all their documents and OneDrive data.

Request 2: The Windows 10 .iso

The .iso has to made freely downloadable for each OEM aswell as the retail license. We had many, many, many problems on the Dell Forums and elsewhere due to the lack of a direct download to a Windows 8.0/8.1 .iso. The popularity of these guides point this out.
