    Hard Drive Allocation Confusion


    Hello! So, my PC has slowed down recently and at the recommendation of a friend I was looking at my SSD health when I saw this. Already I'm assuming my boot partition shouldn't be that large but the same hard-drive has many of my games downloaded onto it within the same partition, is this okay? Any explanation/clarification would be extremely helpful! Note: I don't believe it was partitioned as such before installing Windows 11
