It's personal preference to some degree. I'd leave it as a single C unless you have a strong reason to do otherwise. Do you have any external drives at all, or any backup procedure?

Barring more information from you, anything that is a "personal file" can be moved anywhere it will fit. That would include PDFs. But it might make better sense to put such files in location A rather than location B. That's for you to decide. If these files are related to your operating system...

Did you put these files into "favorites" manually and purely by personal choice? How did they arrive in "favorites"? Are these all just personal documents of one type or another? PDF, doc, jpeg, etc? Or are they Bookmarks? Or?

Do you demand that a single application back up both personal data and your "system", or are you willing to consider separate applications for each task? For most people, personal data is far far more important and there are several software packages that back up data for free. They aren't...

There could easily be a difference simply because of slight variations in airflow at different locations in the case at any given moment. Fan speeds are constantly moving. And you have to allow for variations in the specific tasks on any drive, which are changing by the millisecond. That alone...

Each of those drives may have multiple temp sensors. Or not. Crystal may be reading all available temp sensors. Or not. A sensor near the controller is likely to read higher than any other. Who knows what sensor Crystal is showing you. My HWInfo shows 3 sensors on my boot drive, a WD SN 770...

What is "artificial" about the demand?

"............the backup ended up being more than twice the size of the one created with Macrium........." Somewhat surprised to hear that. I used free Macrium for over 10 years and have been on free Hasleo for about a year. In my experience, full Hasleo images are roughly 75 percent of the...

I use all of the following virtually every day. Office 2010; Photoshop CS2 Version 9.0; from 2005. MP3 Gain 1.2.5; from 2006 EncSpot 2.2 (an mp3 analyzer); from 2005 Audacity; I'm on a recent version but should have stayed with a 15 year old version. The new version introduces unnecessary...

What would be your motivation other than the fear that you are missing out on something? What are your specific complaints about operating with Windows 10?

Link below was quite useful a few years ago for me: "Specializing in the restoration and collection of model M keyboards" https://www.clickykeyboards.com/ I had a brief flirtation with mechanical keyboards 15 years ago. Paid 115 for a highly regarded model. It failed completely within 2...

I just spent a couple of hours interacting with Google's AI gizmo to help me manage closing values of about 30 tickers. I'm not a trader, but a meticulous pack-rat record keeper. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, you get the idea. It worked pretty well. 30 or 40 exchanges. On point answers and...

Type "system restore" into the search box; that should lead you there. No telling how much space it is using. Could be 10 or 20 gb, but you can control the maximum.

77 used; 39 available; not time to panic yet. How much of the 77 is taken up by System Restore?

How did you determine you had 186,000 bookmarks rather than 187,000? Did you find them in some particular folder?
