• Idk if this is r/techsupportgore or r/softwaregore

  Something that helps me is If you want to reformat, Winderstat scans your drive and shows you the size of every folder, plus a visual representation so you see whats taking up more space exactly. Source: 9 months ago

• Game is taking up too much space and crashing

  Not xcom specific advice, but this tool is pretty nifty: https://windirstat.net/. Source: 11 months ago

• Storage bug?

  Just install https://windirstat.net and search for a big clusters of files. Source: 11 months ago

• Storage

  There's a utility called WinDirStat that can visualize the storage on your drive to make tracking down large files easier. Source: 11 months ago

• 2 issues, not enough disk space to open some stuff on my computer, and defragmenting has been stuck at 75 percent for hours.

  Delete some things to get a bit of space, then download windirstat. This application scans your drive and provides a nice way to see your whole drive and what's taking up the most space. You can manually click on each colored area and delete entire directories instead of trying to hunt down whats taking up space. Source: 11 months ago

• Is it preferred to overwrite old program versions, uninstall before installing the new one, or to use portables?

  You mean something like this? Https://patchmypc.com/home-updater. Source: 12 months ago

• Existence of Windows Transfer Utility?

  If you want to buy Macrium Reflect you can redeploy your old computer's image on to your new computer - MR sorts out the different hardware driver issues - but quite frankly it's usually best to copy over your personal files, fresh install 3rd-party software with something like Ninite, Patch My PC or WingetUI and then export the settings and app data over from the old computer.

• Microsoft Store in Perpetual Update (I've tried everything Google has had to say but to no avail)

  What I'm thinking now is you may just want to solve this with the nuclear option like this guy did - https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f4tw3k/cannot_open_any_microsoft_store_apps_windows/ A pain in the ass, but most 3rd-party applications can export settings, and a program like Patch My PC or winstall can reinstall software quickly.

• 10->11 most efficient data transfer method

  Transfer personal files over, use Patch My PC to install 3rd-party apps all at once and quickly, copy app settings over to new machine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Reset & Backup On Win11

  If you image your whole drive and then restore it, you'll be right back in the same exact place you are now. Back up your personal files, 3rd-party software settings (where possible) and browser bookmarks to external storage, do a PC reset from settings using the cloud option, reinstall 3rd-party software with Ninite or Patch My PC.
