Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hello! I have a brand new Windows 11 laptop and I'm already out of space on my C drive. The specs are 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 (Up to 4.1GHz, Beat i5-1030G7), 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB HDD+256GB PCIe SSD.

 

I use Carbonite to back up all my files, so I wanted to transfer my backup to my new computer. This backup is approximately 290 GB. It downloaded around 60% when I got a message that C drive is full. Indeed, I'm unable to downland a file anywhere on C.

 

Can anyone help me understand this and suggest a solution? Thanks!

Your machine has 256GB for C: and may be Recovery partition. You should get at least over 200GB free. You still have other drive is empty with 1TB. You can transfer your backup file to that drive (normally D:). You can also use 😧 for downloaded files as default.  Please use the following Guide

Note: From now on, all downloaded files will be on D:, you can MOVE existing downloaded files to 😧
