    undo partition shrink

    Hi,

    If you accidentally shrink the volume of your SSD partition, there is an option to extend the volume as well. To extend the volume of your SSD partition, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X on your keyboard and select Disk Management.
    • Right-click the partition that you want to expand and click Extend Volume.
    • Select the amount of space that you want to extend.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    extend or shrink a hard disk partition.

    Using disk management, however it doesn't do as good as other softwares like EaseUS partition master do,

    Type in diskmgmt.msc in Run dialog box>Right click the disk in section 2 you wish to extend or shrink proceed accordingly.
