Extra Tips: Not Enough Storage Space for Stalker 2 - What Can You Do

Way 1. Upgrade to a Larger SSD

If you don't have an SSD in your PC now, it is time to buy one so that you can successfully run Stalker 2 with better performance.

Do not be anxious if you are worrying about the OS and data on your old drive. A professional disk partition manager tool can help you clone all data to your new SSD. Here, I recommend EaseUS Partition Master Professional for its OS/data disk cloning feature. It allows you to clone all partitions to SSD without losing data.

Connect your SSD to your computer and follow the steps below to clone your disks.

Step 1. Select the source disk.

  • Click the "Clone" from the left menu. Select the "Clone OS Disk" or "Clone Data Disk"  and click "Next".
  • Choose the source disk and click "Next".

Step 2. Select the target disk.

  • Choose the wanted HDD/SSD as your destination and click "Next" to continue.
  • Read Warning message and confirm "Yes" button.

Step 3. View the disk layout and edit the target disk partition size. 

Then click "Continue" when the program warns it will wipe out all data on the target disk. (If you have valuable data on the target disk, back up it in advance.)

You can select "Autofit the disk", "Clone as the source" or "Edit disk layout" to customize your disk layout. (Select the last one if you want to leave more space for C drive.)

Step 4. Click "Start" to start the disk cloning process.

Way 2. Add an External SSD

Installing an external SSD dedicated to playing games like Stalker 2 can also be a good choice if you want to keep your old hard drive. By doing so, you don't have to go through the cloning and migration process.

Way 3. Move Other Apps

Way 4. Extend Your Partition

Another option is to extend your gaming partition. Many gamers like installing all their games on one specific partition for better management. You can check the following guide to extend your partition with Disk Management to free up space for Stalker 2.

Step 1. Right-click the Windows icon and open "Disk Management."

Step 2. Right-click on the target partition you want to extend and choose "Extend Volume."

Step 3. Click "Next," modify the unallocated space size you want to add to the target drive, and then click "Next" > "Finish" to complete the task.

However, you may encounter the Extend Volume greyed out because of certain Windows limitations. Hence, EaseUS Partition is the perfect alternative for disk and partition management. It also has abilities to merge partitions on SSD and HDD, extend the C drive from another disk, migrate OS to another disk, etc.

  • It won't hot image your drives or align them, but since it's coupled with a partition manager, it allows you do perform many tasks at once, instead of just cloning drives. You can move partitions around, resize them, defragment, and more, along with the other tools you'd expect from a cloning tool.
