If someone has my passwrds already and has access to everything will this work to stop them getting into my phone?

I don't know why you asked the question in the title. From what I understand, most people are more interested in making D: bigger.

When I search my computer it does not recognize One Drive at all.

You just used the argument I was going to make - driving different cars. I seem to be having reply posting problems, so this is a test reply as well. I might be in a minority of one, but I actually like W11.

It's even worse now, just a month later. I randomly looked up "rice cookers" and it's 10 ads for every 3 legitimate search results.

I have multiple OSs so I fall into the "has multiple OSs" class. For Windows users, I will sometimes suggest making a partition on the drive so you have a place to install Linux later on.

Hey, Leo! Thanks! In this day and age it's great to practice a little self help those old DOS Commands

Is this still active? Does not seem to be working anymore.

My computer has two hard drives. Will this program back up both?

Will third party backup programs allow me to back up my computer with two hard drives?

Kagi is the best!!

I'm in the non-partitioning camp. But you brought up one excellent reason why I might need to consider it in the future - multiple OS's. I hadn't really thought about that before. But then again, I've never used multiple OS's on the same machine before either 🙂 I just have multiple machines that are in different locations for different purposes... And I use a NAS for anything they need to access between systems.

Great job! 🎉 Thank you!

Can one in the same way encrypt native folders (e.g. Desktop, Documents, etc) on the PC that then get backed up and synced to the cloud (such as OneDrive, Google Drive, etc)?

I use AOMEI Partition Assistant for such jobs. Easeus and other utility companies have similar products. They give you much more flexibility in rearranging your partitions.

outstanding explanation

If one bought a new computer could they just load in the backup instead of configuring it from scratch?

thank you. your videos are very informative.

Very easy to use! Thanks so much Leo! And thanks to your friend!

I have 2 Onedrive accounts. I tried to delete one, but - it's tied to my registration of Win10. Is there a way to change this? I often thought files were missing (or corrupted) when they were simply syncing to the "wrong" account.

Explain how this dude hacked my Facebook 2 weeks ago when started a job. Never clicked phish stuff but they got into my page bypassing my 2fa codes

If the encrypted folder inside Overdrive on the PC has been deleted can the cryptomator be helpful in recovering? What if Hackers even though online cannot access the information from the encrypted folders in Onedrive if they delete the entire folder and then those changes sync to the PC. Then all is gone. Does image backup such as EasUS ToDo on PC backup the encrypted folders on OneDrive on PC?

Love the simplicity and use of "English' and no jargon. I hate one drive so this was super helpful, nice video.

I don't think lack of drive letters is a true concern and never has been, even back when a machine might have had a floppy drive or two and maybe two optical disc drives. I only ever got to F: or G:, maybe H:. If you really do somehow go through all 26 letters of the alphabet, you could always switch to using mountpoints or use an OS that uses mountpoints by default instead. :P But the one thing I disagree with the most is speed on rotating disks: If you have the entire Windows system on, say, a small 64 GB partition at the beginning of the disk, it will only span and have to move within the physical range of that particular 64 GB section of the disk for any normal system or application functions. Also, if placed at the beginning where the disk should theoretically be at its fastest, you should see even more of a speed improvement. If you have one gigantic 8 TB disk partition, one second it could be on the inner edge, the next it could be seeking to the seven terabytes away at the rim. And it wouldn't matter if you're playing an audio or video file, browsing a web site, launching a program or booting Windows; anything could literally be anywhere spanning that entire multi-terabyte disk. Depending on exactly how much space you give Windows itself room to play you *may* have to defrag the system partition a little bit more, but at least your own personal files will not be contributing to any such slowdowns if placed on a separate partition. Oh, and backing up is so much easier! Two partitions are just better.

Books have lasted for eons.

Thank you for another factual, informative video.

Virtualisation? Back when I was making virtual machines, I would make my C: drive as small as possible (Gparted helped) THEN convert to an image. The virtual machines would then have a 2nd (virtual) D: drive for data.

I've always enjoyed your lessons. I've watched you since you began in the 90's I think; it's been a long time.

I had an image backup of my C: drive and also back up my data separately. When the drive became corrupt, trying to put everything back together was a huge pain because the image file also contained all of my data and was enormous. I now partition all of my computer drives. If you don't want to partition your drive, see if your computer will accept a second drive. Drives are too cheap to not bother.

Good presentation! I'm a partition guy. I have been using the same image backup/restore tool for about 30 years now. It has gone through 4 versions and has always been able to reliably backup an operating system that is in use. Thirty years ago, this was a big deal. And I guess, it still is for many free backup utilities. My tool only has the ability to back up a whole drive or single/multiple partitions on a drive. It is capable of restoring one or more folders within a partition if desired. Back in the day, getting a full image of a drive was lengthy, time consuming process. If you were a developer, as I was, storing both the OS an the data in a single partition on a drive was not the best use of time and kept many from religiously backing up the system. Judiciously partitioning for applications and various data types allowed for easy management of a backup plan and absolute ease of restoration. As hard drives got larger and larger the ease of applying the backup plan became harder and harder. It was easier to use more drives than it was to greatly increase the size of partitions and it became almost necessary to automate the backup process. SSD's certainly helped in the timing side of the process, but only helped if the partition/drive size would fit on the SSD. I'm probably wrong, but I would guess that most of your audience are home users and may be quite satisfied with easy image backup and restoration of the whole drive should something drastic occur. But my situation, lots of data and lost of applications, make restoring a full drive with large partitions a nightmare I wish to avoid. Your many suggestions on what to back up, the frequency of backup, where to backup and just as important, an off-site backup are all great and necessary steps to be well aware of. Thanks.

I once created 3 partitions (one for OS, one for apps, and one for data -- saved files), and it was very good, organizationally, but it was a mistake to make separate partitions (I will explain in a moment). Now, I still have a C:, D:, and E: drive for OS, apps, and data, but they are all on one partition. The difference is in the flexibility of allocating space. With 3 separate partitions, when I wanted to adjust the space of one of the partitions (which was running low), I wanted to grab some of the free space from my C: drive (which had over 500GB of free space that I would never use. But Windows would not let me. My only option was to use a 3rd party partitioning tool. I used the free version of Mini Tool Partition Wizard. It required a re-boot to perform the space reallocation. Today, I have a single partition, and 3 logical drives. Now Windows allows me to easily reallocate space between the partitions, with no reboot. Frankly, I cannot think of any advantage for having 3 partitions on a drive. From the user's perspective, a single partition with logical drives functions exactly the same way. I make a fair amount of use of the command prompt. So having more than one drive letter is helpful. It allows me to be in different directories on the various logical drives, and not have to reference the entire fully qualified path of each logical drive when issuing commands for the directory of each logical drive. @3:16 -- Our host made reference to the finite number of drive letters. @3:36, he mentioned that there are ways to work around this, but did not go into it (likely because it was beyond the scope of this topic). For those who are curious, it is called using a mount point. It is how Linux mounts drives. You can connect countless drives, when using mount points (well, there will be some limit, but probably several hundred drives). You can mount a drive into an empty directory of another drive. So if you have your C: drive, you can have a directory named c:\whatever\drives (where "drives" is an empty directory). Now, you can mount some other drive, into the "drives" directory, with (for example) the name "movies". Then, whenever you go to the c:\whatever\drives\movies directory, you will actually be on your other drive. This can be helpful, for example, if you want to search multiple drives, without having to specify c:, d:, e; f:, g:, etc with your search criteria. If your drives are all mounted within your "drives" folder, then when you search all sub-directories of your "drives" folder, you will be searching all of those drives.

it depends on your needs if you need to partition hdd...

Partition works if you don’t have an extra PCI-E slot or Hard disk bay. Perfect for laptops that typically don’t have these slots. If on a desktop I’d say no since you typically have multiple pci-e slots and hard drive bays.

My largest partition contains photos and videos. I know when it is necessary for me to take a new backup of this partition, and it is nowhere near as frequent as needing to back up my C drive. Backing up the entire physical drive every time would be using lots of time and space unnecessarily. Also, although this is not always possible, I try to keep files that keep game scores on a drive other than C, so that when I occasionally find it necessary to restore C, I don't lose my current scores. Conversely, if I need to restore some non-C data, I can do it without changing my OS drive.

I am sure I am missing something, purpose of me creating a pst is to still access old emails but have it removed and save memory on my outlook. After I created the pst and moved the emails around the memory stayed the same ? Can anyone assist ?

A smaller C: partition just big enough for the OS and any applications and a D: partition spanning the rest of the disk is easily the way to go. It might initially take a bit of extra custom configuration during setup, but if you can install Windows you should be able to handle setting up an extra partition during the install. Just a little bit of extra configuration at the beginning makes the system a breeze to work with over time. The *only* time I would recommend against this is if you plan on playing a lot of games and you don't have a separate drive to install them on. NTFS seems to choke and stutter and just get overwhelmed easily. Yeah, it's likely going to work fine, but for performance I still don't trust it. Making separate sandboxes allows the system to just do what it wants, and your data will effectively have no real impact on the performance of the system itself as it has effectively been isolated.

I have always 2 partitions on my HDD (2 TB), the first partitions stores my Virtual Machines with their own home directories and the last partition all other stuff. The first partition reads on average at 192 MB/s & 12.5 msec access time and the last one at 142 MB/s & 13.3 msec. By the way the file system is OpenZFS. The first partition has a 90 GB SSD cache and the last one a 30 GB SSD cache, both in practice at 480MB/s and 0.2 msec access time with the 2nd slowest Ryzen ever, the Ryzen 3 2200G.

This doesn't help at all. I already marked the spam emails as spam and it does nothing cuz I'm still receiving the emails. And blocking obviously doesn't work cuz I'm still receiving them from different email addressess. So I wanna know will I need to change my email address but then I don't wanna lose all my emails etc

I have a single partition on each drive but use the physical D, E, and F drives to store specific types of data and what I back up. For example my E drive is an M.2 NVME drive that I don't back up because it only has games that are from Steam. It is fast for some AAA titles. My D drive is a HDD that has data other than games and is backed up.

Suggestion. Create a directory in the home directory and use the SUBST command to map a drive letter to your created directory. On the whole, with the current drive technology I do not think partitioning makes any sense. it only made sense when we were running an older version of Tasha windows that had to be periodically reinstalled.

I partition my main disk into three logical drives: A: for apps B: for data C: for OS (Win 10) An advantage of devoting one drive to just the OS is faster/smaller system (image) backup's. I use Macrium to back up the C: drive only periodically. I use FreeFileSync to back up the remaining two drives - apps and data - apps periodically and data nightly. Most all of my apps are portable apps.

I'm with Leo on this. I use my C drive m.2 for apps that need speed and because temps are eternal I set temps and installs for SATA drive D so that I can find stuff more easily

I've found that my own sloppiness works against having my os on a seperate logical drive. I am not consistent with installing programs, saving files, etc. only on the other drive. I also forget where I installed something if I'm looking through the file systems for it... Enough irritations that it invalidates my use case for seperating the os. :)

Hi Leo, A useful companion article to this would be drive cleanup. There is the standard: [WINKEY+r] c:\windows\SYSTEM32\cleanmgr.exe /dC But there are other options like the $WinREAgent dir, C:\hiberfil.sys, disable hibernate with - powercfg.exe /hibernate off, remove superseded components with Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase, and limiting the size of browser caching.

the problem with the C drive is that the root directory is a mess. this is why i make one additional partition of D and make simple folder structures that i'm happy with. D is right next to C, so easy to exchange space between the two if needed

No..

Some say partition the disk, so that WIndows is on the C: drive and your data is on the D: drive

The question-- is there any hidden spyware antiviruses don't always detect I do not like the new windows Mail but we're all being forced over to that I feel slightly more secure with the new windows Mail more than using free software especially anything to do with sending receiving e-mails

Looking at Windows disk manager I have a 20GB X partition following the C partition. The idea is if C becomes unusable due to being full, I can move X data to another physical drive, delete X, and expand C into a portion of the former X space. This allows the required C cleanup to be pushed to a more convenient time. I use X for storing files on which I’m actively working so it is not wasted. While describing this it struck me that the X physical space on the SSD is receiving more wear than the rest of the SSD. A better approach is just to set aside a GB or so of unpartitioned space following C into which the C partition can be expanded if it becomes full. The downside is C’s cleanup would need to occur sooner, though you could leave more space unpartitioned.
