C:\ Partition ??

sostenuto

AKA _ doubtingtom37
2TB 870 QVO SSD __ now Partitioned ( due to cloning from almost identical Desktop PC in Studio ) apprx 50/50.

Disk Management as follows:

(C:) 930.98 GB NTFS | 549 Healthy Recovery Partition | 514 MB Unallocated | 931 GB Free Space.

Was going got try Linux-Mint _ but now aborted. How to best change /use now ??
Any reason to set Drive Letter for 931 Free Space ?
Intending to use space for various VSTi /VST3i _ NOT typically needed during daily Reaper Project use ??
Truly weak with partitioning choices. 🤷🏻
 
You can try Linux Mint either in dual boot or via the built-in Hyper-V feature in Windows (or any other hypervisor/virtual solution).

Anyway, if that free space is without a drive letter, you must format it as NTFS (it's shame that ReFS is still not the default option), and assign a drive letter.
 
Last time I did it, I think I used diskpart, but I could be wrong, it was years ago.
But first, you can see if you can resize the partition in Windows's disk management tool.

There's a freeware, but I have no experience with it:
THX ! A while since using diskpart, but seems it is tool to use. Will try. 👍🏻
