The vast majority (11,547) of the files in the "Linux - GRID Autosport - Content" depot are not relevant for the free DLCs, and should not be copied to a Windows installation. To save from having to download the entirety of the "Linux - GRID Autosport - Content" depot and then delete the unwanted files, you can specify which files you want to download (this will also save ≈ 11.6 gigabytes worth of downloading). To do this, in the same directory where DepotDownloader is located, create a text file named '''dlc.txt'''. For example, if you extracted DepotDownloader to a subfolder in your Downloads folder named "depotdownloader-2.7.1", then you would create the dlc.txt file in %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\depotdownloader-2.7.1\.

Once the download is finished, you can verfiy that everything has been downloaded by selecting both the '''cars''' and '''download''' directories and then pressing '''Alt'''+'''Enter''' on your keyboard or right-clicking them and selecting '''Properties''' from the context menu (using the previous example, these two directories would be located in %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\depotdownloader-2.7.1\depots\255238\4011980\share\data\).

Copy the '''cars''' and '''download''' directories you just downloaded over to your Steam installation of Grid Autosport (e.g., %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\GRID Autosport\). Windows will prompt you to confirm that you want to merge the directories. Select '''Yes'''. If you don't plan on using DepotDownloader again, you can delete it, and you can uninstall Microsoft .NET Runtime 8.0 (e.g., 8.0.8) if you don't have any other applications that use Microsoft .NET Runtime 8.0 (i.e., if you only installed it to run DepotDownloader).
