Windows 10: C: drive maxed out. Heaps of storage on other drives. How do I make a new bigger C drive if...

I can make lots of unallocated space but I can't allocate it to expanding the C drive so how do I make a new C:, transfer everything, collapse old C: Last time I tried to mess around with partitions it ended very badly, if you've some thoughts on that I'll listen deleted the bootable partition after deciding Linux had things to be desired, now my brick is stuck at a BIOS password IDK. Short circuit a chip to bypass is only way, correct?

extend c drive storage space

Hi, I'm , an Independent Advisor.

Disk Management is a Windows built-in tool that supports to increase partition size with its "Extend Volume" feature. However, the program has some limitations in increasing disk space:

- Extend Volume only works on NTFS and RAW partition. FAT32 and other file systems are not supported.

- The Extend Volume will grey out if there is no adjacent unallocated space behind the target partition.

So, the ways to increasing C drive with or without adjacent unallocated space are different. Open the Disk Management, and follow the right tutorials listed below to extend the local disk C drive on your own now:

#1. Increase C Drive Space with Adjacent Unallocated Space

Step 1. Right-click This PC/My Computer, click "Manage", select "Disk Management" under Storage.

Step 2. Locate and right-click on the local disk C drive, and choose "Extend Volume".

Step 3. Set and add more space to your system C drive and click "Next" to continue.

Step 4. Click "Finish" to complete the process.

Note that if that unallocated space on your system disk is not behind the C drive, you can't extend C drive in Disk Management.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help you further!
