  1. Why am I limited to a size in a partition?


    I wish to make a partition for games itself.

    This partition will be around 25 GB.

    I have already created 2 partitions, one is 18 GB and the other one is 2 GB. These are for pictures and documents respectively.

    I want to make that partition for games and install 'Steam' there, so that, that partition is the one where steam will install the games.

    Being specific, I only want to download CS:GO which is around 16 GB but since steam is in the same partition, I am thinking of making it 25 GB.

    When I proceeded to partition my drive, I was told that I can make a partition only 3254 MB large and not beyond that.

    Why? If 830 GB is free on my C drive the one which I am shrinking, why am I limited to only 3 GB?

    Please tell me the reason behind this.

    Any suggestions for this situation are appreciated.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Why is there a limit of items that can be pinned to the start menu?


    Why is there a limit of items that can be pinned to the start menu?

    In previous builds there was a higher limit or no limit. If the item listed was off-screen, you just scrolled whether or not the start menu was full size or not. In build 10130 there is a limit, not only that if you have a lower screen resolution there is even a lower limit. Kind of waste to have a start screen (Not app list) if you are going to limit on how much can be put on it. Might as well use the taskbar or desktop shortcuts.
