I need an advice
Hello all
I installed windows yesterday.
I made a 20Gb partition for windows and the rest 130GB for partition D
No I have 4~5 GBs free in C.
My question is will I have problems in the future with low disk space on C. I am not planing to install ANYTHING on C its only windows...
I want to know now because I don't have to reinstall when it's too late!
Thanks

If you don't install anything on C:, it will still grow larger because of System Restore placing data there. 20GBs is pretty small, have you considered adding another drive? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY
