Windows 10: can i merge 2 different hard drives into one partition

my son laptop comes with 100GB SSD (C Drive) Hard disk and 1TB (D Drive) normal hard disk.

is it possible to merge these 2 hard disk into one partition of lets say 500GB size, since the C Drive is 90% full.

if not

is it possible to move Windows, Users and Program files folder to D Drive without installing windows 10 again.

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

Partition or multiple hard drives?

As the title suggests. Is it worth installing say a 36GB drive for the OS soley or partitioning an existing larger drive with either 2 or more partitions? I am currently running Vista 32bit and want to try out 64bit and am sick of reformatting the whole drive. Any suggestions?

 

Disk management can't merge two partition. (One of them was a linux based partition)

Hi Kevin,

There are different factors that can contribute as to why you not able to merge or extend the space used by a specific partition on the hard drive. one possible cause could be due to the unallocated space having a different file format. For us to resolve
your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

• Was the option "extend volume" greyed out?
• Were there any error messages when you attempted to extend or merge the unallocated space?
• What file system did you use when you formatted the partition?
• Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
