You can also find your scores in C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore\2017-05-06 19.03.29.168(or what ever timestamp you have) Formal.Assessment (Recent).WinSAT


It opens your default browser, as it is an HTM file, and shows you your, what used to be called "windows 7 experience index" if you scroll down to here:

Cliff, here is the screenshot of my C drive from the disk management view. I'd like to set OP since I use my disk for pretty much everything. I have a laptop - would be nice if it had a place for two m2 SSDs. BTW, been to Bamberg - nice town. Lived in Kitzingen for a little while back a few years now.

You could right click C: and select shrink:



Then enter how much you want to shrink, in

   Note

Disk Management uses Gibibytes & Mebibytes, and NOT Megabytes & Gigabytes, so when you want to figure out the values, set the Calculator app up so:
***compare the values to my Disk management screenshot and the "total size before shrink" value***

OK...I will leave well enough alone. Also, RAM shows a difference between sizes, too. It is Engineering vs. marketing!

While SSDs may have space set aside for GC, the reason a 512GB drive shows as 477GB is because of the difference in the method between the manufacturers indication of the drive size, decimal and how the system displays the size, binary.

Since were talking about SSD drives, you might actually look through the link I posted as well. And while what you say has some truth, that's not the whole story. Again, I refer you to the Seagate link.

All SSDs reserve some amount of space for these extra write operations, as well as for the controller firmware, failed block replacements, and other unique features that vary by SSD controller manufacturer. The minimum reserve is simply the difference between binary and decimal naming conventions.

Many people are blissfully unaware that one gigabyte (GB) is precisely 1,000,000,000 bytes, and one gibibyte (GiB) is precisely 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, or about 7.37% more than a GB. Many people are also blissfully unaware that storage is properly measured in gigabytes, whereas memory is properly measured in gibibytes. Even though SSDs are built from NAND flash memory chips, they are marketed as storage devices, and SSD manufacturers reserve the extra 7.37% of memory space as a provision for background activities such as garbage collection. For example, a 128GB SSD will inherently include 128 * 73,741,824 = 94.4 million bytes of built-in over-provisioning.

My point is reserved space, not the numbering system used to calculate it.

Thanks.

And all I'm saying is space is reserved. We can debate the numbers elsewhere, but for my post, and point... reserved space.

Thanks.
