Partitions

[oli356]

Starting to get tired, cant decide if this will work or not.

I've ran out of space on my C drive, and im buying games at the moment so im kinda screwed.

Plan was to just make a games partition up, but on W7 you can shrink 'Y' partition but then only make a new partition or add back to 'Y'.

So new plan is to just re-install windows again. Re-install on 1 partition. Then make a few from there

1) How big should i make a C partition which is only having applications on (no games)
2) If i made my partition for the example 45GB for the C drive. Leaving 955GB for 2 more partitions. I could make a games one say 70GB, my storage one say 400GB. Leaving the extra 485GB 'unallocated'. Would i be able to use that unallocated space to add to my games partition and my storage one?

Using a 1TB hdd if you hadn't noticed. And ofc 1TB is 930GB but i tried to make the post simple as im sure it won't make sence!

Yes, add as I need. Not sure if I will be able to add though. Should be

reinstalling windows now anway, 20minutes since I put disk in and on 0% of expanding windows files -- slow

ty UKDTweak but:

Once i had re-installed i made up a storage partition and a games one. I made the games one 60GB and storage 400gb. With the left over space though i could only add to the last partition i made so...

I just ended up making my games one 150GB (which will be plenty) and my storage the rest which was 727GB. Leaving 56GB for the C drive. Everything is installed on the C and 34GB is remaining so
