Windows 10: "Dynamic" Partition Sizes?

Hi! I'm installing some Steam games on my laptop and then I realized that, because they are all in my C drive, they are all being backed up. I don't need this, for I can just download them again if something were to happen. They would also take up a ton of space on my NAS that just isn't needed. So, I was going to make a separate partition for my games, but I would always be adjusting the size of it to optimize the space on my laptop. Is there a way that I can make a "dynamically sized" partition that makes itself bigger if needed? Thanks!

Partition Sizes?

My new system has 2 150 g Raptors in Raid0. I normally keep the O/S on one partition, installed applications on another, and my paging file on another partition. With a volume size of 300 gigs, what would you suggest as far as partition sizes are concerned?

Thank-You. *Smile *Smile

 

Partition Sizes?

Depends on how much you need for each. For the one O/S....you should be looking at 15 GB (if using this partition to store things like documents, movies, pics...120 or more GB), page file...3-4 GB (since you only have 1 GB of ram), then the rest for installed applications.

^^ I would like to think that the gentleman is sufficiently intelligent to "interpret" the recommendations to suit his needs. He clearly has "other files" he wants to separate from the OS. The illustration is a reminder that more than two partitions can serve a purpose for file and directory management AND aid backup to equally sized HDDs.

Who cares what "type" of data is he wants to manage. He can apply the pricinples as he choses. *Wink

Perhaps he archives interesting threads and comments from TPU moderators. I'd suggest he follows your suggestion of putting those in folders. The windows\temp directory for example. *Smile
