Python Forum

newbie to Python and just installed it on Windows 10 machine. It installed in...

C:\Users\xyz\AppData\Local\Programs\Python

I want it in C:\Python

I'm unsure if Python is a standalone/portable app or not.

Do I have to uninstall it and reinstall it to get it into a new location or just copy the folder to the new loacation?

Thanks for any help.

My advise would be to uninstall it, then when you reinstall it, make sure it is to the directory you want. I say this because there will be registry, environmental variables and other folders created. Simply moving the current directory will interfere with all that. Also, if you are the only user of the computer, when installing, select the option for 'install for all users'. Ideally, if you have a program like CCleaner, you could even make sure any registry and program artifacts are removed prior to reinstalling.

OK. Sounds right. Thanks.
