    free space on ssd

    If you haven't got 30+ Gb of files being created it suggests that explorer reads the used space incorrectly possibly as a result of taking ownership of something. So have you ever taken ownership? If so - what?

    Disk space

    Hi,

    Windows create a special partition when installed on a new disk. This is usually under the name System Reserved. This partition contains these two important things:

    • Boot Manager and Boot Configuration Data
    • Startup files used for BitLocker Drive Encryption

    These two should not be deleted as it is essential for booting and Bitlocker drive encryption. Regarding Windows upgrade, it will not take the allotted space for the System Reserved Partition. It will just take the remaining space outside of it. If you have
    30 GB of space, and 13.5 GB is for the System Reserved, then whatever amount of space is remaining on the C drive less than all the installed apps and stored files, then that's what the Windows upgrade will take.

    Hope this answers your query. Feel free to post back if you have other concerns.
