Windows 10: Unable To Extend C Drive

Hi,


I have been trying to extend my C boot drive using the disk management tool, as it only has 120gb, where as my D data drive has 900gb. However, though I can shrink the D drive, it won't allow me to extend the volume of the C drive. I've downloaded various partition tools, but they won't actually allow me to do anything without purchasing a licence and seem to be full of malware. This seems to be quite a common question but any answer I've read doesn't work. It seems ridiculous that I have 900gb doing nothing and I can't change it.


The C Drive is on Disk 0, the D Drive is on Disk 1. Any help would be appreciated as I have spent quite a lot of money on this laptop, and I can only store about an 8th of what I could on my old laptop.

Unable to extend C drive

So recently I've been trying to extend my c drive seeing as it was getting to be full and the D drive had plenty of room. After doing some research I figured out that I simply need to delete the D drive to free up the space and then use the extend C drive
option to add space. However, even after I deleted the D drive the extend option is still gray and will not allow me to extend the drive. I can make a new D drive and reclaim the space but I am unable to extend the C drive at this time. I'm not too keen on
downloading a third party program to basically force my computer to finally extend the drive so I'm trying to figure out what could be going wrong.

 

Extend C drive Size

Your Image does not show a D partition. It does show an F partition which if reduced in size would enable you to increase the size of the C partition.



These are the steps needed to enable you to increase the size of your C partition:

• 
  Reduce F by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before F.
  
• 
  Increase the Recovery partition by 20 gb taking up unallocated space created by Step 1.
  
• 
  Reduce the Recovery partition by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.
  
• 
  Increase the C partition by 20 gb to take in the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.
  

You can use Easeus Partition Manager (freeware) to carry out these tasks. The files in each partition are automatically moved when you carry out each step detailed above.

Unable to extend C drive

I am trying to extend my C drive as I am running out of storage space. I have 15gb of unallocated space available but I have 2 Healthy Partition Sections between my c dive and the unallocated memory.

Can someone please let me know how I can extend my c drive as when I use the Disk Management routine the extend option is not available

Many thanks
