In Windows 10, how to choose save location

Question

I noticed on the PC of my father, who has recently upgraded the operating system to Windows 10, that the "Save as . . ." option is not part of the context menu (right click). He has only 4 choices in this menu, such as print, select all and two others I forgot. Is it possible to add the "Save As . . . " to this context menu (such as when you browse a page, or read an email).

I also noticed that if he decides to download anything, he is not allowed to choose the download location; it will automatically download in the "Downloads" folder. Again, with downloading, I am used to be given the choice where to download, much similar as with the "Save As . . ." Is this a setting that can be changed?

Answer 1

I can't re-create the context menu you describe, as I have save-as options when I click on text, images, or the page itself. What exactly are you right-clicking to get that 4-option context menu?

I am only familiar with Firefox and Chrome, but can give directions at least for those 2.

Firefox:

-click Tools and then Options (may have to press the Alt key to get Tools to show up)

-select the General tab, if not already there

-in the Downloads section, there's an option to always ask where to save

Chrome:

-select Settings from the main menu

-scroll to the bottom and click Show advanced settings

-scroll most the way to the bottom, and there should be a small Downloads section (it's right above HTTPS/SSL for me)

-check the box saying "Ask where to save each file"

Answer 2

It depends on the browser you're using.

Chrome has an option to specify a default download location, and another option to request a 'save-as' pop up every time.

I guess IE and Firefox have something similar.
