[05:06:40] Finrod_Faithful Which allocation unit size is ideal when you are formatting a new Recovery Partition of a Solid State Drive that is using the GPT disk layout with UEFI for the Windows 10 64-bit operating system, assuming you will be deleting a 508 MB Recovery Partition and using 93 GB of unallocated space right beside it, to create a new Recovery Partition that is 16 GB in size, in the same place, still located at the end of the disk?

[05:14:56] Finrod_Faithful I think 16 GB for a recovery partition seems excessive, but I'm trying to think long term, in case there are more updates with large files from Microsoft in the future, and I think the Recovery partition can easily get cluttered and run out of space over a long period of time
[05:17:39] Finrod_Faithful when I manually formatted my system drive before installing Windows 10, I left 10% of the Windows disk as unallocated space, in order to lengthen the lifespan of the SSD drive
[05:18:00] Finrod_Faithful and this just happens to be located right beside the Recovery Partition, so it may be an ideal use of the unallocated space, in order to accomodate the KB5034441 update
[05:18:24] Finrod_Faithful while still keeping unallocated space available to lengthen the lifespan of the SSD, because I would still have 77 GB of space unallocated
[07:02:58] Finrod_Faithful I want to fix and pretty up Windows PowerShell a la Chris Titus's Oh My Posh recommendation, but I'm not sure if I need to download Oh My Posh from GitHub first, before I run his one-line script that installs most of the needed scripts
[07:04:33] Finrod_Faithful But may be you think this may be an easier way to download and install Oh My Posh:
