How to increase available shrink space? Advice needed

Notes:
Sometimes partition-magic can get you more space, but you’re running a high risk of breaking things.
You’re also trying to shrink windows down to less than a 500gb partition and I wouldn’t recommend that.
Get a second 500gb ssd and boot your second os from there?
Meanwhile I'm keeping windows on a 40gb partition
Oh it’s doable, but shrinking down to that size and moving “unmovable boot blocks” is different, and 40g limits what you can do
40 GB is pretty rough and personally I’d say about 120 GB is the lowest if you want some wiggle room without needing to frequently tinker with finding free space. But 500 GB is way more than necessary at least for now.
Depends on what you use it for.
The second you install outlook, that’s probably 80gb of pst lol.
120 is good for a low usage machine
Well there’s the problem right there! :-D
Agreed 😝
