iPhone 11 iPhone iTunes backup to PC

[dbirnbaum7]

I’ve done so much research, including Apple and Windows forums and support, and am turning to you as I can’t seem to solve this issue.
The issue is I like backing up our Apple devices to my PC via iTunes. I cannot find a way to change where the backup goes. Like a lot of newer computers, my PC has a 128 GB solid state drive built in for faster boot up and is where much of the software and apps are stored, along with a traditional 1 TB HD, which is where I want device backups to go. The problem is there’s not enough space for my device backups on the 128 HD and I cannot figure out how to change to where the iTunes backups go. This is very frustrating; any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

Both the desktop and Windows Store versions of iTunes doesn't let you change the default backup location. However, there's another way to do that, so read on!

Is the 1TB drive listed as a separate drive (i.e. C, D, E) in the File Explorer? If so you might (re)install iTunes there.

One more-thanks. I’ll give it a try and report back.
Philrock-yes, the 1TB HD is D while the 128 GB SSD is C. I can try ty uninstall iTunes and see if it lets me reinstall it on D. I’ll let you know. Thanks.

Tried both options a number of times and no success. Thanks regardless.
For the one option, I kept getting various errors; the other suggestion, Apple won’t let me install iTunes anywhere else than the C drive. Very frustrating. Any more suggestions? I couldn’t be the only one that has experienced this problem.

Dang, they really aren't making this easy. I'm transitioning my iTunes library back to a PC as my daughter uses the MBP for school zoom. Luckily this PC only has one drive... Please keep us posted on the eventual resolution.
