Windows 10: My windows 10 C drive is full. Can I clone it and move it from disk 0 to disk 1 which has...

My windows 10 C drive is full on disk 0. I have created a clone of C on disk 1, which has plenty of room, only containing a D data drive for data storage. How can I start booting from the clone from the current disk 1?

:)

 

How to combine disk 1 and disk 0? Or how take the volume from disk 1 to disk 0?

What you need to is to clone the disk 0 to disk 1 and then remove the disk 0 as a backup.

In the cloning the system disk C:\ will be transferred to disk 1 as C:\ and it should become the boot drive.

Then you can resize the other partitions down to smaller sizes and make other partitions for data and other things like photos.

You will need one of the 3rd party disk management software. I use EaseUS ToDo Backup which has a free version to do the clone. Then I would use EaseUS Partition Manager to change the partitions as it can be done graphically.

If you search the forum you will find other free programs.

 

switch disk numbers: I want Disk 0 to be Disk 1 and Disk 1 to be Disk 0

Hi, My computer contained a normal HDD hard drive. I recently upgraded to a SSD. The original HDD is Disk 0 and the new SSD is Disk 1. The windows OS is on Disk 1. I want to dual boot my system with Windows and Ubuntu with both OS being on the SSD. Since
the SSD is Disk 1 the Ubuntu install goes directly to Disk 0 because Disk 0 is first on the list. How can I switch the two Disks so my SSD drive is Disk 0? Thanks.

 

Cannot merge C drive (disk 0) with unallocated space (on disk 1)

Hi all,

I need some advice on whether it is possible - and if yes, how to merge my C drive on disk 0 with D drive on disk 1.

The problem is: my C drive is getting full soon, but previously after I deleted D drive and make it unallocated space (the bar of current D drive will change to black from blue), I still cannot expand C drive by adding the 100GB unallocated space into it.
If I right click on C drive, the "expand" item is in gray.

I've searched online for solutions but so far only have seen same questions around. Does any one know the solution and do a big favor to explain how to do it step by step? Thanks much in advance!

P.S, sorry that the interface is not in English. Below page shows the "Disk Management" function, and you can see that:

1) Disk 0 has 55.78G, including C drive (55.21GB), 100MB of something I don't know what it is, and 473MB of recovery zone

2) Disk 1 has 100GB D drive, and 831.51GB E drive
