    Windows 11: Disk Space


    Windows 11: Disk SpaceI've installed Windows 11 in the past but it took a lot of my disk space. I couldn't even download a new NVIDIA driver. Would Microsoft fix this space issue?I have 51.9 GB of 456 GB left and I was wondering how much space you need for Windows 11. If I don't get an answer, I'll just install it on a VM and uninstall the ... bloatware.I don't have 64 GB left and I'll try to install it again if I don't get an answer.Thank you if you can help **https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-11-installation-getting-error-message-help/f4e0e1b8-a3df-4fce-9f40-b36a4

    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.
