If one buys used a new LT, then if one has say 500GB hard drive free space with win 8.1 OS installed. Then should one go to disk management and shrink the volume into a newer partition of say 380 GB and hide it?
And put into use only 120 GB including the OS system files and our personal files and folder occupying the other space.
So suppose if there arise any system issues like failing hard drive or virus attack or the hard drive 120 GB gets overused after two years, then system perhaps fails. Then does some computer techie who experience the same do you then hide the damaged clusters partition of 120Gb and unhide the 380 GB partition and then again reformat and shrink its volume to 250 GB new partition. Then we get third new partition of 250 GB, then hide the first corrupt 120 GB and use the new remaining 130 GB for installing again newly formatted win 8.1 OS ? would it work correctly successfully?
Or would it fail after some time?unable to boot as hard drive failing so as to say for the loss of 120 GB used up i lost 380 GB unused space as well money too?
