I recently upgraded my 2nd computer to Windows 10. The computer has 2 hard drives, one as a the main boot drive and one as a file archive. I decided to create a system image once all of the necessary programs were installed, but I ran into a problem. When I go to the system image tool (The one from Windows), it always says that the hard drive space is not sufficient. Inspecting it reveals that Windows is trying to back up my boot drive and my file archive, and I can't uncheck my file archive drive since it's greyed out, and Windows is apparently detecting it as a system drive, even though it only contains files. Any suggestions?

Screenshot of the problem:

you have 3 partitions

you will need to get another drive or pc to backup to

just backup what you really need
