  2. 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.

    Extending C: Drive

    Hi EugeneM_

    From your screenshot, if that is the whole drive, which I assume is a 128GB SSD, there is no room to extend your C drive

    The partition on the left, is the boot partition, then your C Drive, then the Windows Recovery Partition, your C drive is currently at the maximum size . . .

    Windows 10 c drive partition extend booting in recovery mode

    Extend drive C: but extend option is greyed out, recovery partition next to drive C:

    Hi Johann

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    Windows has very limited partitioning capability, it can only extend into unallocated space that is immediately to the right of your C drive, if that recovery partition is between your C drive and the unallocated space, Windows cannot extend your C drive

    You will need to use a 3rd party partitioning utility to extend your C drive, the free version of AOMEI Partition Assistant is totally free, fully featured and easy to use.

    https://www.diskpart.com/free-partition-manager...

    With that you can select your C drive, click Merge, then add the unallocated space and click Apply . . .
