How can I extend windows volume?

Hi Omer. I hope you're doing well. I'm Ian, and I'm happy to help you today.

If you're attempting to expand a Windows partition, it may not be possible due to various factors.

1. The allocated space may not be adjacent to the partition you want to extend.

2. The file system of the partition may not support resizing.

3. There may not be enough free space on the partition.

You can try this workaround by following the steps to resolve the issue:

Please note that it is always recommended to backup your data before performing any partition operations to avoid any potential data loss.

1. Make sure you have allocated sufficient space in the Disk Management. You can do this by right-clicking on the unallocated space and selecting "New Simple Volume". Then, follow the prompts to create a new volume.

2. Once you have allocated the space, locate the volume you want to extend. Right-click on it and select "Extend Volume".

3. In the Extend Volume Wizard, click "Next". You may be prompted to create a new partition in the unallocated space. If so, click "Create" to create a new partition, then click "Next".

4. You will be asked to confirm the action. Click "Yes" to proceed.

5. After the process is completed, you should be able to see your partition extended with the newly allocated space.

If the workaround does not work then it means that te file system of the partition may not support resizing.

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you need anything else.

 

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.

 

Extending partitions

It's something like right clicking on the partition and click Extend Volume. Then type how much space u want to allocate extra on the partition but u can't go any higher than the space that's left. But it never worked for me so IDK how he did it.
