    W10 Partition shrinking/expanding

    Recently expanded my 'System Reserved' partition in order to install W10 1903 release.

    However, expanded it by far too much, so now need to shrink and reallocate to may main Drive C .

    If I shrink, will the newly unallocated space automatically be placed next to my Drive C (so as to allow me then to extend my main Drive C partition?

    How shrink the big C:\

    Hello all:

    I have a w10 of HP 15-au123d.

    I am going to do clean-installation. Before that I want to reduce/shrink

    the 488 GB big C:\ partition.

    I open the "Create and format hard disk partitions" and right-click the

    c:\ partition and click "shrink" It says:

    Size of available Shrink Space 0

    How can I shrink/reduce this so big partition? -- Zhao
