To shrink a volume on Windows, start by pressing Win + R to open Windows Run. Then, enter compmgmt.msc in the Run text box and press Enter to open Computer Management. In the Storage section of the left panel, select Disk Management. In the right panel, right-click the volume you want to shrink and select Shrink Volume.
My problem is exactly the same: I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 on a 250GB disk, cloned it to a 1TB disk and ended up with a 232GB system partition (C:), directly followed by a 450MB recovery partition, followed by close to 700GB unallocated space. I would like to extend C: to the unallocated space.
Press on Windows key + R your keyboard and type in diskmgmt.msc. This will launch Disk Management. Back up the partition to be deleted to an external drive. Right-click on the said partition beside Drive C. (This is usually Drive D) and select Delete Volume. Confirm to apply all the changes. After the Drive C is unallocated, right-click on the Hi Donia, I am Dave, I will help you with this. Windows has very limited partitioning capability, it can only extend a partition into a space that is immediately to the right of the partition, because the D drive partition is between the C drive partition and the unallocated space, Windows cannot extend that partition.. User can extend specified partition by taking free space from other partition on the same disk. I have no idea why it shows the 230gb unallocated in the dropdown, it is contrary to the wording of the message.. You could extend C to incorporate that 70.6gb unallocated space. When it is inside partition C it becomes free space.So your D partition cannot be expanded because the free space is on the left side. I recommend that you temporarily move the files from the D partition into the C partition, 7.8G should not take too long. Then delete the D partition, merge the free partitions, and re-create the D partition. [以下不是回复内容]
