How much unused space you need to update to Windows 11 ?

My C drive is 145 GB big, and I have free around \~20 GB on that drive. Is this enough for Windows 11 to be installed without an issue ? (additionally I have 3 more drives with extra space in case that they can somehow be used as a temporary space during the upgrade)

Want to make sure Fast Startup is disabled

On my friend's Win 11 PC, I want to 100% ensure that Fast Startup is disabled.....i.e., I want to make sure that fully shutting down and then later turning on is effectively the same as rebooting.

She doesn't require hibernation so to simplify her environment I must have previously run:

powercfg -h off

because in Control Panel ("Change what the power buttons do"...etc), there is no "Turn on Fast Startup" showing up.

Does this definitely mean that Fast Startup is disabled? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes since I believe Fast Startup requires the ability to hibernate. Just looking to confirm this.

Thanks

Trigger to turn off caps lock on idle

Hello everyone, I’m looking for help with a problem I’ve been having at work. My one coworker likes to leave caps lock active on a shared computer, and when anyone else goes to use it, they get pissed off that caps lock is turned on.

I would like to make this computer to turn off caps lock when it has been idle for more than 10 minutes, but I can’t quite figure out how to accomplish that. I understand very basic programming, but it seems any way to make this happen is out of my scope.

Is there any way to accomplish this? Please help.

Partiton disk to separate windows or not

I got a new laptop with single SSD drive. I installed windows 10.

Is it useful to create some partition so I can keep my file separated from windows installation?

I am thinking if I need to reinstall windows one day, then i can do it without loosing my files? Is this correct?

Any reasons not to partition drive?

Need guidance with new Windows license: Can't buy Windows 11

I have always had my Windows license as an OEM version with my desktop/laptop or got it free with my custom builds. Now I am trying to build a new desktop and, since I am changing my motherboard, I thought of purchasing a new Windows license. From what I read, if I change my motherboard, I need to get a new Windows license. However, I'm having trouble purchasing one. The website does not allow me to buy a new version. As far as I remember, I always had a Windows license with a pre-built desktop or a laptop or they gave it to me when I got a custom build in a shop (those were quite a while back). Does the OEM license transfer automatically? I do not think so. I have had multiple desktops/laptops linked to my email address/Microsoft account. They are just not allowing me to buy a new license.

Just finding it odd that Copilot doesn't use Fluent like the rest of Windows...
