    Expand storage while reinstalling Windows 11

    by frederickchavre · about 2 months ago

    Tags: 

    Dell XPS 15 9530, i9-13900H, 16GB RAM, 512 GB storage
    Win 11 home video creation and editing.
    Purchased new Crutial T500 1TB M.2 SSD.

    I got off to a terrible start. I did not, in my haste, realize that I was creating folders and saving into the cloud, had multiple desktops, etc.
    I want to reinstall a fresh Windows 11 with settings as I want them then start over. I want to use the new 1TB SSD as Disc0 and the existing SSD, 512GB, for Disc1. ( In the near future I will replace Disc 1 with permanent 2TB T500.)
    The T500s have much faster r-w speeds. Plus the increased storage. I will back up as I see fit, MANUALLY, as needed. I want control on back ups and telemetry.

      Go ahead, I’d say. Install Windows 11 on your new SSD, and configure it as you want. What’s keeping you from doing it?
