AskWoody LoungerI’m not Paul but here’s the answer.
fsutil volume diskfree <volumepath>
Note: <volumepath> can be either a drive letter (i.e. C:, D:, etc.) or a UNC path (i.e. \\??\\Volume{##}, \\192.168.1.1\ssd, etc.)To display the free space of the recovery partition, use the UNC path displayed by reagentc /info like this:
How do I copy and paste the UNC path ?

AskWoody LoungerVery good explanation Ascaris.
Can we say that a backup that is made with an application running out of Windows
is more “safe” ?

AskWoody LoungerDoes “you mileage may vary” means: what you did in the past may be different from other users did ?
Sorry i’m not native english speaking and I hate abreviations and acronyms.

AskWoody LoungerOctober 19, 2022 at 8:09 pm in reply to: Windows 11 22H2 ‘runs like magic’ on 12-years old i5-580m #2490428My computer is a 10 year old Dell XPS 8300.
Actually I have a legacy Bios and a 1 terabyte SSD with MBR partitionning.
So my question is: When I make my Win 11 USB installation key with Rufus, do I select MBR or GPT.
