How to create exact-size (50 GB, 100 GB, 200 GB...) partitions for Windows 10
So you want to see a round number when you open the file explorer because for some unexplainable reason it gives you inner peace? Well, to each their own I guess!
TL; DR formula:
(X + 0.566) x 1024 = Y MB
Where X = the partition size you want, and the result is in MB because the installer prompts to enter the size in MB and not GB.
So, the explanation for this formula is that you have to do is take into account the fact that the Windows 10 installer creates several small, hidden partitions when you're partitioning your hard drive, so when you enter the partition size you desire, the installer takes some of that size for its own small system partitions, and that's way it was difficult to calculate a round number for the partition size.
What you should do instead is that, during the installation, when you have enter the partition size, you're going to sum the size of the system partitions in the total amount.
For this, just keep in mind that Windows 10 creates 3 system partitions …
