Q&A for How to Check Your Hard Disk Space

It depends on how much space you need -- that is, on what you use your computer for. Gamers need much more space than the average user who simply uses a word processor occasionally and checks email does, for example.

Go to File Explorer, and go to "This PC". Look for your default hard drive, which by default is (C:), and from there you can check your total space, and how much you have used.

You can do that by right clicking the folder or file you want to check the space of and then clicking on Properties. After you do that, Windows will start calculating the space occupied by the folder/file. It may take some time if the file is large.

Probably. You'd add all 4 of them then divide by how many drives you have on your computer. But since the C drive is more likely the mandatory drive in your computer, you'd just follow these methods.
