The size of the pre-installed Win7 new computer hard disk partitioning scheme

  
to hard disk
partition can better manage the files in the computer, but the newly bought computer regardless of the size of the hard disk, generally only divided into C and D There are two areas in the disk, even one C disk, which is obviously not suitable for office or home use. Therefore, partitioning the hard disk is the first pass for all new computer users. Below we take the hard disk based on Win7 system, the size is 500GB
as an example, to introduce you to several hard disk partitioning schemes.
Win7 system hard disk partitioning scheme

1.System disk (C disk): Recommended size 50GB
System disk is the most important partition of the whole hard disk, because it carries the soul of the whole computer - —Operating system
, but this does not mean that the system partition will be as large as possible. Microsoft recommends that the Win7 system disk partition should not be less than 15GB. Of course, we can't really only leave 15GB for the C drive. In addition to the 8-10GB space occupied by the Win7 system, we must also consider temporary files such as cache files and Win7 update patches. As well as individual programs that can only be installed on the C drive (it is not recommended to install such a program), etc., so it is just good to leave 50GB for the system partition.

2. Program installation disk (D disk): Recommended size 100GB

We do not recommend installing all the programs to the system disk, so the space left for the program installation disk can be larger. When installing various software and games, just change the C: in the installation directory to D:.

3. Multimedia entertainment disk (E disk): the remaining space minus 100GB

Music, movies and other multimedia files are usually large, especially lossless audio or high-definition video, so store these files The bigger the space, the better. Therefore, we only need to leave enough space for the content that can be planned later, and the rest will be left to the entertainment disk. Of course, if you don't particularly pursue lossless or high-definition, or if the main purpose of the computer is to work, you can also give less or no space to the entertainment disk.

4. Documents, photos, backup disk (F disk): 100GB

The content of this partition can be more or less, but it is very important. Whether it is office or home, the computer will store some documents, photos and other materials more or less, so it is also necessary to separate some space for them. Even if the document is a lot, it won't take up too much space, and the photos take up a lot of space, but the volume is quite considerable. In addition, documents and photos are generally rarely deleted, and are as important as protected content.

Although the hard disk partitioning scheme is recommended for everyone here, the actual needs of each person are different, so you can make some adjustments according to your own usage habits and needs to meet your own requirements.
