    Shrink One Volume and Extend Another


    I'm running Windows 10 Pro, version 2004.

    I want to shrink volume C by 100 GB and increase volume D by the same amount.

    Is it a simple enough task to use Windows Disk Management and if so an indication of the process would be appreciated.

    Shrinking a volume

    Hi tfd3

    Close Disk Management

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    From the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    Paste this command and hit Enter:

    diskpart

    Paste this command and hit Enter:

    list volume

    (note down the number of the Volume you intend to shrink)

    Paste this command and hit Enter (replace x with correct volume number)

    select volume x

    extend filesystem

    When that completes, close Command Prompt and try shrinking that partition again in Disk Management

  3. How to extend OS drive volume in Windows 10.?

    , just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu

    I want to extend so your answer is really frustrating ans. I want to extend so why should i shrink and select extend? Extend option is already Dim or unavailable?

    Shrinking a volume

    Hi, Dave. I followed your instructions. All seemed to go well, but Disk Management still reports "The parameter is incorrect" when I try to shrink the volume.
