It is a method that I have not seen reported but it may be worth a shot. Then when the windows versions is updated the languages and fonts are reinstalled. There may be easier options to increase the free space in the partition by using the available windows options to uninstall language and fonts. When performing the steps for advanced users if you choose to use diskpart you must know the syntax to find and label unlabeled or hidden volumes. Then if there are any problems you have the capability of restoring the drive. You must place the image on another drive. It would be best to use Macrium to make a backup image of the drive.

These techniques are for advanced users so you must be careful when fixing the contents of a partition. So if language or font or UEFI diagnosticįiles are installed into a partition instead of the C-drive you then end up with less free space on the partition. On these partitions certain files may be stored. Request to reply to this post as early as possible because I need to update to windows 10 October and need to continue with my project.When you download and install software on the computer the windows operating system determines where certain files go. If I allot separate partition for Programs then what size will be sufficient for it.ģb) If I install programs in C then how much size should I allot for C drive.Ĥ) How to calculate MB to make it perfect 100GB while creating partition. Therefore how much space should be allotted for Windows System Reserved Partition.ģa) For Programs do I allot separate partition for it or shall I save all the programs installation in c drive itself. My total single Hard disk capacity is 1TB.Īt present it has one Partition of C drive and another partition of HP Recovery (windows 8.1 + HP - preinstalled by HP).ġ) So while clean installing shall I delete HP Recovery partition (I think which is no use in future)Ģ) Default Windows System Reserved Partition is 500MB but it gets full very quickly by windows and antivirus.

At present, planning to do clean install and install "Windows 10 October 2020 Update". I have HP ENVY 15-k203TX Notebook PC and it came with preinstalled Windows 8.1 (64-bit) OS, then upgraded to Windows10.
