Windows 8 to allow alternate location for Windows installation files
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 04/30/2011 05:31 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Neowin.net posted another new Windows 8 feature.
With each new leak of a Windows 8 build, more and more features will be uncovered. It was just last week that Windows 8 build 7955 leaked to the Internet and previous to that was build 7850. Users have been pouring over every detail of the latest builds and have uncovered many new things, one of which is the ability to alter the location of Windows 8 installation files.
This image comes courtesy of Twitter user @AngelWZR and shows the new settings for "Specify settings for optional component installation and repair of operating system corruption". The idea behind this option is to allow users to set an alternative location for Windows installation files. When setting an alternative location you have the ability to specify more than one location if so desired.
