2.) Why is it important to determine the size of the partition correctly?

With the somewhat smaller SSD, the hard disk space is limited, for this reason one wonders whether it will be sufficient in the future on the hard disk C: \ or partition (volume).

4.) Why does Windows 11 require more and more space?


Windows 11's hard drive size increases over time for a variety of reasons:

Updates:
Microsoft regularly releases updates and patches for the Windows operating system to close security vulnerabilities, fix bugs, and add new features. These updates are stored on the hard drive and can increase the size of the operating system over time.

The size of Windows 11 on the hard drive may increase over time, but through good management and regular maintenance, you can ensure that your system runs efficiently and without wasting unnecessary space.
