Windows 10: Can I extend my disk C size?

So uh, I have an issue where my "gaming" laptop's disk C came with 48 gb, while my D drive has 428 gb. yeah, C has a VERY LOW amount of disk space and I want to extend it till I'll get a new SSD that will be bigger So I've found some tutorials on youtube where I can shrink my D drive to extend my C drive, but is it true? if so is it a problem if my D drive is full of data?I have about 170 GB free right now, but if I shrink it and make a new volume with the amount I shrank, I'll need to use the new drive to expand the C drive right? or do I have to make a volume big enough to put ALL of my data

:)

 

Extend C drive Size

Your Image does not show a D partition. It does show an F partition which if reduced in size would enable you to increase the size of the C partition.



These are the steps needed to enable you to increase the size of your C partition:

• 
  Reduce F by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before F.
  
• 
  Increase the Recovery partition by 20 gb taking up unallocated space created by Step 1.
  
• 
  Reduce the Recovery partition by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.
  
• 
  Increase the C partition by 20 gb to take in the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.
  

You can use Easeus Partition Manager (freeware) to carry out these tasks. The files in each partition are automatically moved when you carry out each step detailed above.

How to extend C partition

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the information provided.

Please to inform you that you need to have an “unallocated disk space” to the right of the Partition\Volume you wish to extend on the same drive. Only when “unallocated disk space” is available “extend” option is highlighted.

I suggest you to try these steps and check if they helps.

Step1: Press Windows + R and Diskmgmt.msc and try the following

a. Right click the basic volume want to extend.

b. Click extend volume.

c. Follow the instruction on the screen.

Step2: Open a command prompt and type diskpart.

At the DISKPART prompt, type list volume. Make note of the basic volume you want to extend.

At the DISKPART prompt, type select volume <volumenumber>. This selects the basic volume volumenumber that you want to extend into contiguous, empty space on the same disk.

At the DISKPART prompt, type extend [size=<size>]. This extends the selected volume by size megabytes (MB).

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
