    Unable to shrink C drive

    Unable to shrink the C drive beyond 455 GB

    I was trying to partition my 1 TB hard drive in new windows 10 laptop from HP by using disk management tool . I would like to keep the following partition sizes:

    C Drive : 200 GB

    D Drive : 400 GB

    E Drive : 300 GB

    However I am unable to proceed as the shrink cannot be beyond 50% and it doesn't allow Volume C to be less than 455 GB.

    Will I be able to successfully shrink it to 200 GB in c drive and does it have any disadvantages doing so?
