Windows 10: Tried to Merge Unallocated Storage From D: drive to C: With AOMEI Windows PE mode and shows...

I tried moving just 10GB of free space from my D: Drive to C: Drive cause i needed some space on it. At first i wanted to move it the normal way by deleting the partition and adding the unallocated space to the C: drive, but i didnt want to delete all my files. So i watched a tutorial on moving it with AOMEI and the video directed me on how to do it. In the video it appears as hes booting on Windows PE mode a, screen pops up. When i did mine, it went into a restarting screen. Which is normal And it went into a black screen shortly after that. I never got to see the windows PE tab showing the

how to merge c drive and d drive

It depends on a couple things.

If you have two separate physical C and D drives, you can't merge them.

If the D drive is a partition (not a drive) and its to the right of C:\ in Disk Management, you can right click C:\ then click Extend.

Press Windows key + X

Click Disk Management

Take a screenshot then post in a reply here.

If the layout is similar to how I described it, try the following. Make sure important data is backed up if there is any.

Select the D:\ partition

Right click the ‘D:\’ in Disk Management, on the contextual menu, click the ‘Delete Volume’ option. Click ‘Yes’ when the warning dialog appears.

The Volume you deleted will now appear as ‘Free space’, you will also notice that the disk icon no longer appears in the list of volumes.

Right click the Free space partition, and click Delete, click Yes on the Disk Management warning that appears.

The volume will now appear as Unallocated. Our next step is to merge back that unallocated free space with the system partition (C:\). Right click the System volume and click the ‘Extend Volume’ option on the contextual menu, click ‘Yes’ when the warning appears.

A wizard will now begin that will guide through the steps to merge back the unallocated space with your system partition.

The wizard provides a simple procedure to merge back the unallocated space with the system drive. Once you have selected the space, click Next, at the end of the wizard, you will see the amount allocated.

 

Can I merge unallocated space with C Drive?

Hello.

I've just upgraded my Laptop's 500 GB HDD to a 1 TB SSHD for better performance and more memory storage. I've cloned the memory from the old drive to the new one, but after the upgrade, my laptop shows the C Drive's Memory Storage in the new 1 TB Drive as
"454 GB's" which is the same as my laptop's old 500 GB drive.

There are 5 Partitions other then the C Drive and an Unallocated that has "475 GB's" of Free Space. One of them is titled "FAT32", has 260 MB's and can't be deleted nor moved due to that this one's important.

I'm using AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition to see if I can merge the Unallocated Space with the C Drive, but before I do so, I need to know if this will make me lose data or not.

 

How to extend (C disk?

Find below the message I got when trying to merge:

"The version of your system is equal or higher tn 1703. We suggest you don't resize/move system partition, which may cause system boot failure. We suggest you create a Windows PE bootable media and resize/move system partition with it."
