[Image source – Microsoft] Microsoft has added new disk management options within the Windows Settings app is the latest Windows Insider Build. These settings mean modernized storage space settings. If you are running one of these versions, you can manage your storage spaces without launching that legacy interface. That is, you get the job done even when you stick to the modern UI from Microsoft Windows 10. Now that you know this, shall we see how to create and manage spaces?
How to Create and Manage Storage Spaces from Settings
Unlike before, you have better options in storage management now. For instance, you can create a simple storage space or go for a pool of storage sources. When you create a storage pool, you can add empty storage spaces from more than one drive. It would be best to explore all these options before you provide the details to create the Storage Spaces on Windows 10 settings. The best part? Windows 10 now shows almost everything you should know about every single storage space. You’d know the used amount of space and the physical disks involved within a space. We think this is a way better option than launching the legacy Storage Spaces interface, which takes more time and offers fewer options.
