Incorrect....200000 made C 280.92 GB and D 195.31 GB

Here is a chart to help you understand better. Convert GB to MB

I deleted D. Then extended C to the unallocated space and got back.

Thanks for suggesting 20000 MB, it made me learn disk management. Creating, deleting, merging...

By the time you get done you're going to know more about computers than you wanted. :)

No after shrinking typed 200000 that's it. To the unallocated space ran the wizard. That's how you recommended. No issues have reverted back to...

Thanks.

It's simple. But would do another clean install later performed by the tech guy. Since has exact drivers.
The vertical height of task bar is increased.

Thanks.

Correct. But my research work is stalled. So sometime tomorrow would ask him to do a clean install of W11 and MS Office 2019. Do the updating, imaging at my office...and back to research!
Thanks.

Thanks. What would 200 GB be equivalent to in MBs.

I don't have the Intel graphics driver installed but the MS one, no wonder the task bar width is more and in device manager have MS basic display adapter.

Don't know how the tech guy got it installed?

Thanks again.

It takes 1024 KB to make 1 MB; 1024 MB to make 1 GB; 1024 GB to make 1 TB . . . Just FYI.

What partition did you want to make 200 GB? If drive D I don't see what's wrong with 195.31 GB. If you want it closer use the chart I pointed to and use the MB Binary guide. I used the MB Metric guide to make it easier for you.

There are two ways to measure a MB. I used the 1000 KB instead of 1024 KB to make it easier.

I wanted C to be 200 GB rest all to D.

When you try again use the guide I linked to make drive D the size you want.

I know. I never go that way, though. Like you, though, when I'm creating partitions, it doesn't matter if the HDD or SSD isn't cut into exact halves. 195.31 GB would be just fine for me.

I was just giving Alexey some information.

I wasn't sure you knew that there are two different ways to measure a MB. For me I always measure a MB as 1024 KB.
