[MENTION=139589]prometheus[/MENTION] When I try to shrink the C partition in Disk Management, the amount of space to shrink shows up as about 94Gb. I have about 750 GB free. Any idea why? How do I shrink the partition preserving OKR?

Defrag first and then try again!

Maybe it is because of the page file placed by lenovo near the end of the partition. You can check using any graphical defrag tool. If that is the case, you can try to manually delete pagefile.sys and then shrink the partition. Alternatively, you can try shrinking using gparted/linux live distro. Of course both are risky procedures.
You can do a fresh install of windows if you own one by manually specifying the partition size; then this problem won't be there.

DO NOT shrink using other than MS disk management tool or "pwhe"
I won't be responsible for damages done using anything other tool/3rd party process.

try using "pwhe"

and follow the same process as I've described in the last post on lenovo forum's thread.

I used "pwhe" directly to resize/make partitions on my y50:) OKR works as is

Follow the guide [MENTION=139589]prometheus[/MENTION] posted a few pages above.
I have done the same, and divided my C drive into 400+250+250.
OKR isn't affected.

if you've already made the partitions then I have no idea what effect been already* done/might repro. on OKR partitions/functionality
neither do I know which utility s/w you've used to make these partitions + dnt know your part. table/struct.

1st do verify if OKR is working from* within* windows
- so just press the OKR key and see if the app. pops up correctly

before making/modifying partitions dont* try* to use*/pop open* OKR from shutdown state directly!

now follow up my earlier post if you want to make more partitions.

UPDATE:

:| wait..what? you made changes to your partition table but din't shrinked "C" ....can you just post a screenshot of your disk management window?
