 .SYNOPSIS
-	Checks a drive for free space left 
+	Checks the drive space 
 .DESCRIPTION
-	This PowerShell script checks a drive for free space left (20 GB by default).
-.PARAMETER Drive
-	Specifies the drive to check
-.PARAMETER MinLevel
-	Specifies the minimum level in Gigabyte
+	This PowerShell script checks the given drive for free space left (10 GB by default).
+.PARAMETER driveName
+	Specifies the drive name to check (e.g. "C")
+.PARAMETER minLevel
+	Specifies the minimum level in bytes (10GB by default)
 .EXAMPLE
-	PS> ./check-drive-space C
-	✔️ 172 GB left on drive C (61 of 233 GB used)
+	PS> ./check-drive-space.ps1 C
+	✅ Drive C: uses 56%, 442GB free of 999GB
