Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/8727

Hello,

I wanted to try this on windows but the installer instantly enforces me to install it on C into my users folder.
This is not really okay as my OS Drive is not that big to hold LLM Models. Can we please have an option to install it whereever we want?

thank you

That was quick. Thank you! Would be awesome if that could be implemented into the installier itself.
Very appreciated!

Sorry I have to re-open. Even after installing this on a location it will put all models yet again into:
C:\Users\[USERACCOUNT]\.ollama\models\blobs\
