Hi, my PC has 2 drives, C: where Windows is installed ("system" drive) and D: for storage etc ("non-system" drive).

In disk management, under advanced security settings, the system drive is shown as owned by "TrustedInstaller", while the non-system drive is owned by "SYSTEM".

This is a Dell machine but I clean installed Windows when I got it. Does anyone know if the disks' ownership is correct? Should the non-system drive be owned by user(s) rather than "SYSTEM"?

Thanks :)

Looks completely normal to me. All my machines are like that too.

Only if you want to apply some restrictions, I denied SYSTEM to write/modify to prevent ransomware.

My disk manager shows exactly what @Bree posted, so thankfully everything is ok, thanks :)

@TairikuOkami I'm definitely interested into that, since I'd really like windows to leave alone my non-system drive, thanks :) I still have to find complete info about it tho

Thanks to everyone for your replies :D
