    System Restores can be useful, so a good practice is to leave it on, with a relatively small usage like 10 GB . Commented Oct 12, 2017 at 19:51
  • Agree, this answer really needs a caveat Disabling system protection will prevent you rolling back to a previous state when issues are encountered with windows, likely necessitating a full reinstall of Windows and ALL installed programs at the cost of many hours of work. System restore is always on the boot drive (one containing Windows), so that Windows can be sure if you are in the recovery environment (also stored on the boot disk), you should also have access to the system restore info, while not having to worry about RAID, or some other thing that complicates access to other drives.
