   This is the reason that for many years (decades?) I have always added a D drive partition for all the file storage and remapped the documents/pictures/videos/etc to the D drive, even on a new, preloaded computer I would shrink the C drive and add a D drive partition for the files. It saved my backside many times both personally and professionally unless the entire drive goes boots up.
   
   As long as the partition is readable it can usually be accesses with a Linux live/rescue disk to make a last minute backup.

     @geniusmusing @simsa04 Agreed, though it can also be quite freeing to suddenly shed some of the ancient archive.
