@Matthew060 Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Here's how you can manage your SSD and partitions on your HP laptop running Windows 10 22H2:
Understand Drives and Partitions:
- A drive is a physical storage device like your SSD.
- A partition is a section of a drive formatted to be used for storage.
- A volume is a storage area on a partition.
Create a New Partition:
- Open Create and format hard disk partitions in Windows.
- Right-click your SSD and select Shrink Volume to free up space.
- Right-click the unallocated space and select New Simple Volume to create a partition. Follow the wizard to assign a drive letter and format the partition.
Change a Drive Letter:
- Again, go to Create and format hard disk partitions.
- Right-click the desired drive and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.
- Choose a new drive letter and confirm the change.
Expand SSD Storage:
- If you have unallocated space, you can expand existing partitions by right-clicking the partition and selecting Extend Volume.
I hope this helps.
