Question Can I swap the HDD on my new PC with the SSD I already have? Question Transferred WD to New Computer and it Caught Fire Pluggin in new empty SATA SSD to a computer that uses M.2 NVME SSD and my PC is no longer able to boot This will gain you ~11GB into the C partition. Again.'oops'ДЇor a 3rd party partition tool, possibly this: Have a viable backup of the drive in question. I've seen far too many people with an 'oops'Дў. Or, you use a 3rd party partition management tool.Д«efore ANY messing about with partitions, 2 things:ДЎ. Leave it as is.ДЇor the 11.73GB 'Recovery Partition', to merge with the C partition, that needs to be located to the right of the C partition. Isn't there some way to merge all three partitions into one? Or, at least merge two of them to get back the needed space? The other partition appears to be empty and is using 30+ GB. Those two extra partitions - why do I need them? The recovery partition is useless because I recently needed to restore factory settings and Dell had me use a bootable flash drive with the operating system on it.

Hi, when I was researching the reason for the lack of free space, I followed all the suggestions offered including eliminating the page file, the hibernation and system restore. I've seen systems where it is set to consume 50% of the drive space. And sucking up space equal to your physical RAM.Д¬heck that and see what it is set to. If you have not purposely turned hibernation OFF, it is ON by default. Those could easily consume your potential missing space. Your WinDirStat window is missing a couple of key elements.the pagefile, hibernation file, and System Restore points. Your C partition is 107GB, of which 9.51 is free. Of that, 11.7GB is used up in the Recovery Partition. Let's disregard everything but Disk 1, the 128GB SSD. Thanks so much for spending time on this.at least I know now what the problem is and can stop cleaning and recleaning my C drive. I can see my missing 50 GB is in two unused partitions. Unless you are rabid about the consumed space, it does fill up quickly.ДЇurther, possibly have all your personal docs save to a different drive. This is why a 120GB SSD is not really recommended these days. I'd bet if you looked in your Downloads folder, you'd find a bunch of old junk that could be deleted. That's an easy 7GB that can be moved off to a secondary drive. Generally 10-15%.ДЇrom your WinDirStat, there are a few things that could probably be moved to elsewhere. The SSD needs some free space for wear leveling and for the TRIM function to do its thing. Should I bother? Is my SSD okay with only 10 GB free? Should I swap out my drive for a larger one? I appreciate your guidance.ДЎ0GB free on a 120GB drive is right at the edge of 'Too Full'.
