So, should I split up that big 1TB hard drive into separate sections? Or keep it all together as one big block?

What is this system designed for, and what are the other hard drives in it? My computer has a 1TB drive that holds operating systems and apps, but not games. All of those things live on different physical drives. Right now, I'm using about 225GB of space. The best way to fix this is to partition. But how do I do that better?

I use my computer just for gaming. My operating system and apps have always worked fine, even when I had a 120-gigabyte hard drive. Before installing Windows 11, there was still space left on the old drive after one year of using it. Now that I am setting up Windows 11, I might need to pay for activation just to keep things running properly. That is why this matters so much to me (I'm just explaining what I've been through). I want to know if making a new partition is better for managing the OS and keeping important data safe. I already know that putting the computer operating system on its own separate drive keeps the important files away from my games, etc., so that's why I am confused right now.

If 120 GB works well for you, then so be it. Actually, personally, I would never buy a smaller drive than 200 GB. However, in real life, I wouldn't split that huge 1 TB drive into small pieces. Instead, I'd just use the whole thing as one big space without dividing it up.

OK thanks. By the way, if I upgrade my SSD do I need to turn on Windows 11 again? I know changing things might cause some trouble.
