I purchased a new office desktop PC last week. I downloaded the latest itunes and tried to backup my iphone 6s 128gb and it failed because itunes tried to backup to "C" drive which is a small ssd. "D" drive is 1Tb completely empty. There must be a way to select which drive to backup to? Please help.
iPhone 6s, iOS 10
I have seen tons of videos with this same info. Problem is, my backup file is not in that location (\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup)
My backup file is in C:\Users\bharm\Apple\MobileSync\Backup . As a result, none of the video tutorials apply to my situation. I don't know why my backup is not in the same place as everyone else???????? Please help.

Thank you so much for your help. It worked great. Now if only a multi billion dollar company was smart enough to allow users to actually choose where their backup files were stored. That would be great. 👍
If you've installed iTunes from the Microsoft Store use this command instead.
MkLink /J "%UserProfile%\Apple\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\MobileSync\Backup"
Adjusting the drive letter if required.
