    I resized my Windows partition and it is still recognising it's old size not it's new size


    I recently resized my Windows 10 partition to go from 50gb to 100gb, but windows is still recognising it as only 50gb. If I go into disk management it says the partition is 100gb which is correct, but in File explorer it still says only 50 GB.

    Partition Sizes?

    My new system has 2 150 g Raptors in Raid0. I normally keep the O/S on one partition, installed applications on another, and my paging file on another partition. With a volume size of 300 gigs, what would you suggest as far as partition sizes are concerned?

    Thank-You. *Smile I resized my Windows partition and it is still recognising it's old size not it's new size :)*Smile I resized my Windows partition and it is still recognising it's old size not it's new size :)

    Partition Sizes?

    Depends on how much you need for each. For the one O/S....you should be looking at 15 GB (if using this partition to store things like documents, movies, pics...120 or more GB), page file...3-4 GB (since you only have 1 GB of ram), then the rest for installed applications.

    I resized my Windows partition and it is still recognising it's old size not it's new size

    Is it possible to change partition sizes without formatting pc?

    Another option to ponder and get second opinions on:

    Move B drive to a completely new drive, say a 1TB drive, relatively cheap.
    Clone the B partition to the new drive, then extend its partition to the full size of the new drive (if the clone software does not extend it automatically.)
    Format the old B Partition.
    Then extend the C drive partition to the entire size of that drive; 500GB drive if I've done my math correctly.

    ???Maybe a call to your software company, explaining your situation and discussing the issue and what you propose to do, they might save you a reinstall fee if you get their permission first.

    What's the policy on failed hardware ( the hard drive in question) and a reinstall from your backup?

    I ask because some clone software will resize the partitions larger in step with the larger drive, ie a proportionate amount larger.
    This way the C drive gets an automatic size bump on the 1TB drive.
    I think you can also dial in the amount as well, with certain clone software, so you can specifically size the C drive to the amount you want.
