  1. I can't resize my main partition. Why?


    So I wanted to install Ubuntu in dual boot with windows 10 but I can't resize my SSD. When I open disk manager I get only 138MB available when I got 34GB free (my SSD is 236GB total). What should I do? Do I need to clean it up? Or do I need to disable BitLocker?

    Edit: build 19042.906

  3. Resize Windows 10 System Partition

    Hi Adrain,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

    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.

    Resizing C partition

    Would suggest using Ease us partition manager for this.Disk Management is kinda useless for resizing.
