Trying to install the Optane software to accelerate my slow storage HDD while I wait for money to get the 8TB drive for my NAS. I keep getting this error no matter how much free space is on the partition on the end of my drive. Help?

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Right click on the start button and click disk management, see what partition is the last. Create another that's larger than it's asking for and try again if there isn't anything that should interfere (1GB for instance should be fine)
