Windows 10 Reserved StorageĪs it turns out, on my case it’s due to system and reserved. So where is this 20GB going? Did I just get scammed by the laptop seller/manufacturer?Īfter days of looking here and there and with the help of Google, finally I found an answer. There’s a discrepancy of 20GB – which coincidentally and similarly matched with my missing storage I originally intend to allocate to Drive E.

About 20GB is missing from my hard disk driveĪfter partitioning done, I then quickly check, bare Windows 10 Pro (with my locale settings + Office) was just around 30GB – as confirmed from the screenshot (I counted in all files and folders under Drive C), but when checked the capacity from Windows explorer, it’s showing Drive C has been used up to 50GB. Realizing that the storage wasn’t partitioned, I quickly partitioned the HDD into 3 different partitions: Drive C: 100GB for Windows main drive Drive D: another 100GB for all of my data and Drive E: supposedly left 50GB which I intend to use it for entertainment purpose (Eg: games).īut to my surprise, the space left for my E drive was only around 37GB and not 50GB, while there’s still big question mark on my head on why and where the missing storage is, I still continued to partition it based on the leftover storage space.

That is like what exactly happen to me, recently I got a new laptop with single 250GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD).
