mine only populate 17gb without any software.

partition you ssd at least 30gb for window and the other partition for apps and games.

30GB would not be enough after some time, a lot residue files plus many program also copy files to user/app folder. Then when big Windows update it need 8-10GB free space.

I recommend at least 50GB for C:, but better if 100GB so no need to bother about running out of space for a very long time.

Got my new Dell laptop with 256 GB SSD. The OS and pre-installed programs take up about 30GB of space. Less than what I expected . Good.

How do I know whether this SSD has a pre-installed software to limit usage to leave 10% space free (to prolong the life of the SSD)?

If nothing on that has been pre-installed, what software can you recommend?

Thanks.

P/S  Maybe it was 130 GB and not 30 GB.

Check what brand and model the SSD is and then check the manufacturer website whether they have any software for the SSD.
