    Microsoft Storage Space Device


    I am trying to play assassins creed origins but the drive have downloaded it to is a Microsoft Storage Space Device and this is causing the game to crash at launch. I have been through 2 different members of staff in thee support team who tried many things to help but with no joy. Here is the results from dxdiag i ran to check them windows is on my C hence why its normal but how do i change the other two? All drives are formatted as basic


    Drive: C:

    Free Space: 20.3 GB

    Total Space: 476.3 GB

    File System: NTFS

    Model: WDC WDS500G2B0B-00YS70



    Drive: D:

    Free Space: 2096.8 GB

    Total Space: 2097.0 GB

    File System: NTFS

    Model: Microsoft Storage Space Device



    Drive: K:

    Free Space: 95.7 GB

    Total Space: 1048.4 GB

    File System: NTFS

    Hi Misa

    Please Note the following process will remove you drive form storage spaces, it will also wipe that drive back to Unallocated Space

    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'

    That drive will be listed as 'Preparing 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

    You will then have a full clean drive ready to use . . .
