Windows 10: Adding/Extending volume on PC

The main disk where I have my boot and system partition is running out of space.

I have an extra disk not used in my computer.


In the past, I was able (during installation) to use two disks with stripped partitions (RAID-0-like), now however, I cannot.


What I have done so far is set my "main" disk as dynamic as well as the spare one. I cannot however change my partition to stripped nor extend the volume over the other disk.


Currently in this computer I have a Windows 10 home edition. The documentation I have found about this topic refers to Windows Server... is this feature no longer supported for normal licenses?

How to extend OS drive volume in Windows 10.?

, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu

I want to extend so your answer is really frustrating ans. I want to extend so why should i shrink and select extend? Extend option is already Dim or unavailable?

  Locate your system partition — that’s probably the C: partition. Right-click on it and select “Shrink Volume.” If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, you could also choose to resize a different partition to free up
  space.
