May partition D be partitioned again?

Kuen

Computer: Acer Aspire T3-715

OS : Windows 10 home 64b.

 

The capacity of the hard drive is one TB.  And the partition D has a space more than 900GB.

 

I am thinking about creating a partition F, cut a part off from partition D, for other uses.  But I'm afraid this might mess up the recovery system (happened one time before Win 10 and was warned by Acer not touching the original OEM partitions).

 

But it sounds unreasonable to have more than 900GB space sitting idle in a computer.

 

Does anyone has repartitioned the D drive?

Does it cause any problem, namely, unable to recover its out of factory status?

 

Thanks.

you can create a new partition but before, it's better you create a bootable recovery media, using Acer erecovery software or windows10 built-in software:

so in the worst case, you can wipe the HDD completly and re-install everything.

Thank you.

 

I haven had all the neccessary recovery and back up on CDs.  And I am prepared for the worst.  But just don't like to take any risk or go through the hassle.

 

Thanks.
