Keep in mind that 999 out of 1000 cannot do this, nor have the knowledge to do this.
And should not have to in order to make it work right.
Good point. I partition the drive because it makes it a lot easier to backup, synchronize and encrypt my data. Maybe allowing Windows to run more smoothly is an unforeseen benefit.
More like 9 out of 10. They're consumers, most don't know how many cylinders their car's engine has, they probably don't know how to check the oil level. But 1 in 10 does, same with computers.

We've come a long way from when Windows drives HAD to be partitioned to work at all. It became easier for everybody to just shove everything into the C: drive. But that's dumb and inefficient and many other bad things (like making it harder to back up). Having everything in one partition makes it NOT work right.
Why don't all those people build their house with no walls, and just throw all their furniture and clothes and food and toys and entertainment devices... into ONE BIG ROOM?
Putting everything in C: is just wrong. But like liberalism, it allows people to not have to think.
Thinking is hard, you know what I mean?
