    so I have partitioned my mac into windows.. and have 32.07 gb free space.. I have not installed anything on windows its all just the base apps and files for windows.. I am trying to figure out if there is a way I can still free up enough space to install the game and launcher.

    any help and clarification is much appreciated.

    You need allocate more space for the windows partition. Like lumoz said, the game may be 37gb, you want to have a least 1gb or 2gb of extra space free.

    so I guess my only other question is.. how to allocate more space because when I did the partition I did the maximum allowed.. is there something in the mac settings that I can change to allow more?

    Whats the full size of ur hdd/ssd?
    And how much is already taken?
    I cant believe that it would only "allow" 32gb instead of only beeing "able" to allocate 32gb cause there aint enough left.

    I have a 121 gb of space with 89.6 available on the Mac before the partition.. and it allows me to partition 58.4 gb.. and it takes up quite a bit installing everything on window and so far has left me with 32.07... I really feel like there is something I can do to allocate more of that space into the windows?

    I dont know if this changed in recent years, but to my older knowledge, you cant easily reallocate space to an already existing partition with freeware software.
    You always could easily take away from an existing partition, as long as it doesnt take more than the still free gb´s, but adding is a whole other thing.
    But id rather wait for another more up to date user than me, to clarify this.

    Edit: I just rechecked my w10 folder. It takes up arround 20gb not including base programms folder etc.
    So on this side, youre propably out of option in view of windows size reduction.
    I know there are smaller w10 installation in the wild, but those often give problems, arent up to date and so on.

    I think the best way to go, would be to resize the partitions, after you scrapped software from your macos partition. So you have more space left, that you then can reallocate. But check how much free space you would need for systemupdates etc (on the macos side), so you wont run into space bottlenecks after you resized the partitions.
