Superficially it looks as if Disk 1 was at one time used for a Windows installation.
Could you please confirm that if you remove/disconnect disk 1 your laptop still boots?
A System Reserved partition shouldn't normally have a disk letter either- and you appear to have one on each drive.
Another issue is the remarkable size of your recovery partition, which I'd expect to be around 500-600Mb, say, at most.
Is E: simply a data partition?
You can define your own folder, of course.I`d like to have a partition for just the OS/programs and then another for downloads, what`s the best way to go about this?
If you really wanted to define a separate partition, which imposes limits on its size, then you could, provided you can succeed in setting all browsers use to make use of it by default.
When taking over a second hand laptop, normally I'd recommend a clean install, ensuring no leftovers remain.
Which drive is giving you a warning?
It looks like you need a bigger drive. C: and E: are quite full.
Have you run disk cleanup on C:
Good point- soon it's likely to be pretty much unusable. Even if you save space from the recovery partition that's so large -assuming it's a Windows recovery partition- you wouldn't have enough free space to process a Win 10 feature update (upgrade).
Assuming you don't wish to clean install, you might try
Free Up Drive Space in Windows 10
Quite a few things need doing otherwise.
But the complaint is about the one with a drive letter on disk 1
- whereas the O/S is on disk 0.
That's why I want to check if there's a bootable O/S on a single disk.
If so, D: can be deleted.
And far easier and appropriate to clean install if it's an inherited PC with nothing now of interest on it.
Open a Command Prompt (Admin) run:
diskpart
select volume D:
remove letter=d
exit
exit
Your low disk warning should go away.
