    Converting a Microsoft Storage Space Device back to a regular storage space?


    I've been having a lot of issues lately with my computer, namely that one of the disks keeps clocking at 100%. I thought that the way to fix this would be to basically reinstall windows 10 and format my storage. It helped a little, but the issue still seems to be present.I did more digging around today to see if I couldn't find more information, and it turns out that one of my drives, a 2.7TB drive, is being held hostage as a Microsoft Storage Space Device, which googling around tells me that MSSDs have been a bit infamous for causing performance issues and disk overclock.So I wanted to know..

    :)

    Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

    Go to System - Storage

    Click 'Manage Storage Spaces'

    Click 'Change Settings' and if necessary, confirm that choice

    On that drive, click 'Prepare for Removal'

    Wait until that drive is listed as ' Ready to remove', Click Remove - Remove Drive

    Then open Disk Management (accessible by right clicking your Start Button

    Right clcik the Unallocated space on that drive and choose 'New - Simple Volume' then accept the defaults
