    How to add c drive space to my pc

    I need 107gb of c drive space to launch a game on my pc but my pc only has 117gb total space possible. Is there anything I can buy on amazon to give my computer extra c drive space?

    Not that I’m aware. Other than purchasing a larger drive (if drive is replaceable) then you’ll need to use disk cleanup & remove any unneeded files & programs.

      What about a portable drive, would that work?

        You can use an external drive to store your personal files but not to physically extend the C drive.

          So would the only option be to buy a new pc so I can play this game?

            As far as clearing space on the drive.
            Open an elevated command prompt. Type CMD in the search box, Right click > Run as Admin and copy and paste then hit enter.
            [ICODE]powercfg.exe -h off[/ICODE]
            [ul]
            [li]First download and save the portable version of Privazer to your desktop.[/li][li]Go through the options a set Privazer to your needs, select basic or advanced user.[/li][li]When you are done setting Privazer to your needs, then click on start cleaning then scan.[/li][li]This scan can take a while to complete, so it is best that you do it when you have some free time.[/li][/ul]

            You can use Treesize to find files on your machine that you may wish to delete.

            You can use the Everything Search Engine to find and remove files from your machine.

              Is the drive containing Windows soldered in & non replaceable?

                Too small even for a boot drive on its own.

                Provide the following information about your computer, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the MB and the case, we can then check to see what if any upgrade is possible.
