Hi,

Got my new Thinkpad T530 today. The shop installed the 840 Pro before sending. Samsung Magician thinks there is not enough room for Over Provisioning even tho there is 189g free on C:. There are 3 partitions set up and I'm thinking its done incorrectly to make samsung say no to over provisioning. Images attached. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Disk Management displays it a little differantly to Magician.

There is no free space on the drive, so it can't overprovision. Space is counted as used if it is allocated to a partition. You will have to shrink at least one partition; I recommend a complete backup to an external drive before you do.

The drive comes with a certain amount of (hidden) overprovisioning built-in, you know.

I was about to David's post and put that he could manually overprovision the SSD by shrinking 10% of the C partition, you beat me to it, lol
