I bought a used PC (Alienware X51) months ago and now getting start to use it. I bought a new CPU and 2x4G RAM (just to hope it'll last few years). I almost include a new SDD but decide to keep using the existing Samsung 500GB SDD. Then I boot the PC (it's Windows 10 Pro). It came with keyless keyboard/mouse, so I couldn't use the F2 to browse the BIOS. I am going to get new (wired) keyboard. Anyways...

I looked at C: and its 64GB. There are no other drive letters. I looked at Disk Management, it's been long time I remember how to work with Disk Management! Right now it's (the C: 64GB) is already half full. I want to ask if I can combine the whole 500GB together into one drive letter (C:) or at least make the C: into more max storage.

OT... since I bought the PC without any discs or backups, I wonder if I can or should reinstall Windows. Or it's better to leave it alone as is (and continue with Windows 11 and/or 12). Can this PC even go up more or stuck with Windows 10? The Admin username is there (I don't care) and it can not be changed (that I could remember how).

I plan to use this PC for research and one game ("Serious Sam" is the only game I play). I am curious if this PC can play the next SS (SS4 is the latest, few years ago, so sometime next year or two, there should be SS5).

Anything I should check with SDD storage or it's the PC that's it's stuck with?

Your system is not supported with windows 11.
 
If it won't accept Windows 11 (and on), then I probably should look for different PC (bought the Alienware for $100).

I will do the screenshot of DM sometime this week.
