Windows 10: How do I relocate my system partition to a different disk?

I am attempting to update to Windows 11 but I am having trouble activating my secure boot drive. I believe it is related to my system partition not being on the same disk and my Boot disk which is stopping me from converting from MBR to GBT. I am not concerned with data loss, I just want to update to Windows 11 before security updates stop rolling out.Thanks

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

 

how to add a portion of disk into another hard disk partition in windows 10?

Hi Hamiul,

I realize the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if that helps.

• Run Disk Management. Open Run Command (Windows button +R) a dialog box will open and type "diskmgmt.msc".
• In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu
• 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.

Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you.

There are several factors why you see unknown system partition or disk in your computer. It can be a recovery partition. For us to better assist you, we'd like to gather more information:

Meanwhile, we suggest to follow these steps:

• Open a Command Prompt as admin.
• Type in diskpart.
• Type list volumes.
• Find out which volume shows as your drive E: then type select volume N, where N is the number that the volume was given.
• Double-check that you're on the right volume, type in "list volume" and check where the asterisk is. If it's beside the volume you wish to change, then good, if not you'll need to do "select volume N" again.
• When you're sure you're on the right volume, type in remove letter=E.
• Check it has been done by typing "list volume" to see the results.
