Asked By TechyTurtle29 On

I'm trying to set up a dual boot with Bazzite on my laptop, but I'm having trouble creating a new partition. Windows 11 won't let me create a partition larger than 9000MB. Is this a common issue? Has anyone else experienced this?

First off, make sure you have more than 9000MB of unallocated space on your disk to work with. It's easy to overlook! If possible, post a screenshot of how your Disk Management looks; that might help diagnose the issue.

You might be running into limits since Windows can have restrictions on partition resizing while the OS is in use. Look for 'unmovable' files that could be causing the issue. A reliable approach is to use a third-party tool or boot from a Linux live USB for resizing. Just remember to always back up your data first, to avoid any loss!
