System Add Drive to Storage Pool of Storage Spaces in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to add a disk drive to an existing Storage Pool to increase its capacity in Windows 11. Storage Spaces helps protect your data from drive failures and extend storage over time as you add drives to your PC.

If you run low on capacity, just add more drives to the storage pool.
