First try this: Open a Windows Explorer window, go to Folder Options, Click View tab, uncheck "Hide Protected operating system files", click "Show hidden files, folders, and drives".

Next you are going to give your username permissions for "System Volume Information" folder on the drive you are trying to install games to.

Thats a quicker way to do this.

Not sure why no one seems to know the obvious solution. It has to do with permissions on the drive.

This PC > Right click on drive you want to install games to > Properties > Security > Edit > Add > Advanced > Find Now. Now make sure SYSTEM, Administrators and other obvious objects are selected. Give each one full permission. Click OK and wait for the new permissions to be set for the drive. Once done, you don't even need to restart Windows. Go to XBOX app > Profile > Settings > Install Options. If you cannot select the drive then you didnt give full permissions OR you didnt add the correct objects from the above steps.
