My Computer To Check Out How Much Space Have On C Drive

Sep 3, 2015

I can't find 'My Computer' to check out how much space I have on my C: disk. Where did it go? Also, how do I set my lists of Favorites on the left side as before in Win 7?

Hard Drive Space Missing

Dec 9, 2015

I have a 240gb SSD with Windows 10 installed. After selecting all the programs to determine the amount of space it should take I only saw 82gb yet I only have 44gb of free space left. At first it was only missing about 20gb of space which I thought would be a system restore point however now I'm actually running out of storage. What is taking up my hard drive space or how to determine it?

Boot Drive Space Limit

Aug 2, 2015

I want to put a Seagate 4tb sshd in to my PC as a boot drive so I can install Windows 10 Pro when it's available. But, as I recall, Windows 7 max boot drive space without partition was 2tb. Does Windows 10 have the same limitation?

Performance :: Running Out Of Hard Drive Space

Nov 26, 2015

I have a HP Stream 11 laptop I bought from Walmart, it came with Windows 8.1 and I went through the charade of upgrading from 8.1 to 10 so it would validate they key and then I immediately did a clean install. Sadly with this laptop, it only has a 32 GB eMMC drive (non-upgrageable), when formatted it is brought down to 28 GB, after the clean install I was at 15 GB, I have installed very very few and rather lightweight applications that at most take up 1 GB. So left with 14 GB, what I have noticed since then... it seems as the updates rolls out, I'm starting to run out of space, I just did the "November 1511" update and I am now down to 5.75 GB free. Is there anything I can do to slim down Windows 10? or Should I just downgrade to a different OS?

Low Disk Space System Backup Drive

Nov 13, 2015

I am getting a low disk space message from my system backup drive. It's 1 TB and it is full. There are not any files that I can delete. They are all system files.

Two questions:

1. Why is it so large?
2. Can I install a new larger drive and have it move the system files there?

I have windows 10, not 8. I'll attach a picture. Dropbox - issue.png

Installation :: Multiple Recovery Partitions - Drive Space Was Low

Mar 5, 2016

I have a Dell Venue 8 Pro with an upgraded Windows 10 installed. Always perform Windows Update but did not pay attention too closely. When the drive space was low and started looking a little bit closer, I found out that I have several Recovery Partitions. From Disk Management display, from left to right are the partitions:

500MB EFI | 40 MB OEM | 490 MB Recovery | C: OS 22.8 GB | 450 MB Recovery | 4.75 GB Recovery

The problem is I do not know which partition that Windows 10 actually created as its Recovery Partition. I do know that the 4.75 GB partition is my original Dell Venue 8 Pro Recovery Partition. Which one can I remove to allow the expansion of my C drive? What gives?

Hard Drive C Partitioning - Shrink Space Allowed Is Only Around 3 GB

Nov 26, 2015

I just bought my surface book. I am trying to partition my C Hard drive. I thought that I have to shrink it first, then create a partition. However, the shrink space allowed is only around 3 GB. My disk size is 512 GB.

I defragmented (or now called optimized) the C drive and retried it, but no use. I would like to create a new drive call it D, and leave C for windows only.

AVG Web Tuneup Maxing Out Hard Drive Space - Can't Delete

Dec 8, 2015

Something is causing my C-drive to completely run out of space. I did some investigation and found a folder under AppDataLocalPackages. The folder was called windows_ie_ac_001 and it is about 36Gbs. I deleted it. The strange thing is that after I restart my computer, you can literally watch my hard drive fill up back to the 36Gbs. The folder I deleted is back too and if you go to its properties, it's increasing in size so I know it's the culprit.

Doing some more investigation I found out this problem folder is for a stupid programmed called AVG Web Tuneup. I tried to delete the program in Uninstall/Install and it won't work.

Clean Install Will Free Up C Drive Storage Space?

Aug 3, 2015

I recently upgraded my Windows 7 laptop to Win10. However, before I did the upgrade, I did a clean factory install of Win7, kept installing Automatic Updates until I get the option to Upgrade to Win10.

I have a 500gb HDD, that is partitioned in to two, C: for OS and D: for Local Disk (storage), currently the C: drive is 58.5gb, of which I have 13.5gb left, this is with having only Windows 10 installed AND Printer Driver and Software.

Is there any benefit of creating the Windows 10 media disk, reformatting with this Win10 disk, and getting rid of any of the rubbish that might of been installed in the process of doing a clean install of Win7.

OR re partitioning the Drive, so I can steal some of the storage from D: and give it to C: . I have 397GB of unused space on D:

I also just noticed, it states I have a Partition called RECOVERY, however, I don't seem to have this on My Computer view.

Delete Old Files On C Drive After Upgrade To Reclaim SSD Space?

I have a Lenovo laptop with a non-upgradeable SSD. I have installed the update from Win 7-64 to Win 10. All of that went smoothly. But now I have a 25gb directory named "Old Windows" on my C drive. Can I safely delete that directory to reclaim that precious SSD space?

Reallocate Space To C Drive - Extend Volume Button Greyed Out

Oct 10, 2015

So my C: Drive has been acting up lately, with barely enough space to stay alive. I tried to take some space off the D: Drive, which has 240 GB of unused space, and add it to the C: Drive using Disk Management. But when I shrink the D: Drive and Right Click on C: Drive the Extend Volume button is Greyed Out! I think this is happening because the Free Space is not adjacent to the C: Drive.

Drivers/Hardware :: Hard Drive Space Loss After Expanding Partition

Oct 15, 2015

I have a 120 gig solid state hard drive, that I have my OS installed on (Windows 10)

I was going to install windows 7 on a second partition on that hard drive, so I shrank the current partition and it gave me unallocated space.

I had a few people tell me it wasn't possible to install windows 7 on the same hard drive as windows 10... for some reason or another.

So I decided to expand the partition back to its original size (the whole hard drive).

Before I shrunk the partition.. I had 60 gigs left, I shrunk it by 20 to install windows 7 on.

Well after some people told me it wouldn't work. I decide to re-expand the partition to take back up the whole drive.

Problem is, when I did that.. I loss that 20 gigs, it says that 20 gigs is 'used' space now. I tried scanning the hard drive for errors and defragging (won't let me defrag that drive.. I assume cause its either a solid state drive or the windows drive)

I don't know how to get that lost 20 gigs back.

Performance :: Error Check Drive Has Damaged Windows Installation

Oct 19, 2015

Just when I was happy with my installation I error checked my main C: drive with is a Samsung SSD, Windows reported that it had found some errors and it needed to be rebooted to correct them. I rebooted the PC and the check disk did it's repairs and it booted back in to Windows. I noticed straight away that the start menu had stopped working and when I opened Windows Explorer or did anything within it (like right click properties) or any settings windows like control panel it would take for ever. Opening programs like Internet Explorer work fine.

I have tried System Restoring to before I did the drive repair and sfc /scannow and Dism/Online/Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth but I still have the problems. The SFC found errors and corrected them but still no Start Menu.

I do have a Trueimage backup from Last Friday which I will have to use if I cannot sort this out. Yesterday due to a on going occasional BSD I had fully uninstalled my Nvidia Geforce Video drivers using a utility that was recommended to me on this forum, I then reinstalled the drivers and it had been fine up until I did the Scan for errors so I don't think it's nothing to do with that.

BSOD :: Machine Check Exception When Attaching Secondary Drive

Sep 21, 2015

I just built a new PC:

MSI X99A Sli Plus
PSU Cooler Master V550
5820K
DDR4 32GB
Nvidia Quadro K2200
Samsung SM951 256 GB M.2 boot drive

I installed Windows 10 PRO, and played with it for some hours with no problems. I also run Intel XTU to stress it and all is good.

Now I want to connect the hard drives from my old PC but I have this problem: after a few minutes into windows or even at boot, the PC freezes with machine_check_exception blue screen - no numeric code at all.

I tried to connect an old WD 1TB disk, an old Maxtor 1TB disk and also with a brand new Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, these drives connected to different SATA ports each time.

When I detach all the drives apart of course the boot drive, the PC will start normally.

Later I tried to connect the new SSD (one SSD is M.2 boot disk, the other is SATA data disk) and I got into Windows, had the time to format the SSD data disk but then on the next boot I got the same problem.

Could it be some UEFI settings?

Computer Says It Has Disc Drive And It Is Working But It Does Not

Sep 11, 2015

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1. My disc drive wasn't working before the upgrade. In fact, before the upgrade, my computer didn't even recognize it HAD a disc drive. Now it recognized it, and when I go to the device manager, it says it is working properly. I tried doing an online search on how to fix this and tried a recommended command prompt, but that did not work either. I really want to use my disc drive.

Moving Hard Drive To New Computer

Oct 24, 2015

I have an SSD with a Windows 10 installation on it. This Windows 10 is and upgrade from Windows 8.1 which was an upgrade from Windows 8. I still have the Windows 8 key and installation media. What I'm doing is building a new computer, but my hard drive is still new, so I want to keep it. When I put it in the new system I plan on doing a refresh or clean install, so that everything is nice and clean.

But, I don't have a product key for Windows 10. Is my only option to use my Windows 8 CD then upgrade to 10? Is there a way to retain my 10 installation then reset it? This one hurts my brain. What I think would be best is right before I move the hard drive is do the reset, then move it to the new computer, but then I don't know how windows will active since I can't use the 8 key and it can't do a internet activation based on hardware because all the hardware is new.
