Apologies for the late reply, no free time for the forums yesterday 

 

Glad to hear that things are going well and thanks for the feedback 

 

I mentioned having a couple of suggestions for you, I will explain the first one for you below;

 

Partition your 1TB Seagate so that Windows is on its own 250GB partition, as to why this is a good idea is explained in my canned info below;

 

Just a fyi, Windows should always be installed on either its own drive or on a separate partition on a larger drive, this reduces the amount of free space that is required to be kept available + it makes creating a regular back a whole lot easier.

 

A 256GB SSD or separate partition on a larger capacity drive should be the minimum capacity allowed for.

 

Equally as important is being prepared for the need to upgrade to another OS, Windows 10 is nearing its end of life and extended support will cease on October 14th, 2025, when the time comes you will only have to worry about upgrading or clean installing Windows to the C: partition as opposed to needing to reinstall all of your programs and data if they were kept on a separate partition on the same drive.

 

Windows will also boot up quicker on its own partition as it does not need to install drivers for any third party programs.

 

 

 

See first answer here for " how to " shrink the present partition down to 250GB.

 

Once done can you include with your next reply a new screenshot of DiskManagement so that we can check the status of the drive, the new space will need to be initialised/activated.

 

To add to the above, if you think that it would be beneficial you could split the remaining space on the drive, some for your games and some for your personal data.

Hello,i dont really understand what i need to do as i dont have the same situation as in the miscrosoft post you sent.

Here is my disk manager,do i need to shrink the C;  drive or do i really dont undestand anything?

I am honestly lost in the instructions.

 

 

What i understand is that i need to put windows on a separate partition so it is left alone and is safer,but i  cant get the c:partition under 516074 mo. i dont understand and sorry abt that

Only do what you are comfortable with but in answer to your question, yes, you shrink the 930GB C: partition which then creates a new unallocated partition which is what you would then have to work with for games and personal data.

Windows is already on its own partition and you are on the right track, why it will not let you go below 516074MB I have no idea.

 

Just looked at the Windows 7 info at the link that was provided, it is worth looking at as it is more informative.

 

Got work to do so will not be around for an hours or so.

[bambidbl]

I ll search a bit to see if i can figure it out,thank you again.

Well done 

 

What you need to do now is allocate the space that you just made available, are you keeping it as one partition for games and your personal data or do you want to divide it into two so that games and data are separate.

[bambidbl]

Only one is okay,both games and personal files will be together.

[phillpower2]

Rather than me waffle see the guide here please excuse that forums/sites name.

[bambidbl]

Done 

[phillpower2]

Great 

 

The second suggestion you may have already done yourself, manually OC the RAM to 2933MHz, if yes, let us know, if not, do the manual OC then get back to us and we can have you run some tests to tidy up and hopefully have you be happy with the results.

[bambidbl]

Got it, it s done.

Use the free versions at the following links;

Stress test your GPU with Furmark
 

Check your FPS etc with SUPERPOSITION

I didnt present itself the way i wanted to on my reply,to make it shorter i got 3661 on furmark

[phillpower2]

All looks good so unless there is anything else related to this thread that you need help with we are all done.

 

Do you find that the computer boots up quicker now.

 

Tip: Be sure that when you are installing, downloading or saving personal data or games related stuff etc that you make sure to save it to your data partition and not the C: partition.
