How to partition my drive C: Windows 10.

Hi Jayson,


Thank you for sharing your query in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you would like to extend the size of the C drive on your Windows 10 system.
Try the following steps to extend the size of the drive.

1. Run Disk Management. Open Run Command (Windows button +R) a dialog box will open and type "diskmgmt.msc".

2. In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu
3. 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.
