Can T Extend Volume
This will make it Unallocated Space to extend C into: Partition or Volume - Extend. If this doesn't work use free Partition Wizard which will Resize into any empty space whether (Primary) Unallocated or (Logical) Free Space. Rightclick C to Resize, slide right grey border all the way to the right, OK, Apply.

No file is so retentive to care about the file system presentation to the end user as to not allow the storage to expand.The issue is that there is both a C and D drive on the same drive, and that logical partitions would overlap.

My experience says otherwise.Regardless, there's no point in derailing this thread and arguing about semantics. Let's get back to proposing helpful suggestions to the OP's issue, not bickering about who thinks they're more correct about something.

Let's get back to proposing helpful suggestions, not bickering about who thinks they're more correct about something.Wasn't trying to bicker, just trying to clarify. It's not a matter of semantics either. It's file system layout, which any system has a difficult enough time to deal with. Once it is set, leave it.

It's file system layout, which any system has a difficult enough time to deal with. Once it is set, leave it. Unless things have changed, Gab is right and you have to expand into contiguous space.In the OP's case, gparted will allow the D drive to be moved and the C can then be expanded into it.

Can't Extend Volume Windows 10
It's not a matter of semantics either. It's file system layout, which any system has a difficult enough time to deal with. Once it is set, leave it. Unless things have changed, Gab is right and you have to expand into contiguous space.In the OP's case, gparted will allow the D drive to be moved and the C can then be expanded into it.A much smarter plan. Gabrielle.L wrote:From that screenshot, there is no space for the C drive to expand to. The space has to be contiguous and immediately after the partition you want to expand. In your screenshot, the D drive is in the way. If that unallocated space was between the C and D partition, then it might be possible.
Cant Extend Volume Storage Windows 10
But not as-is.You might have luck with gparted, as zuphzuph suggests. You will need to first move D to the end of the logical disk, then grow C.To add to this. Expand D: to encompass the rest of the 100GB empty space on the drive. Apply it.Shrink D: by 100GB FROM THE LEFT SIDE, opening up 100GB of empty space right in the middle between C: and D: Apply itExpand C: by the 100GB of unpartitioned space. Apply it.I've done this many times in my career, but I have always used a 3rd party tool to do so. I'm not sure if Windows will let you do that, but this is the procedure.

I'm not sure if Windows will let you do that, but this is the procedure.Windows only allows expanding to the immediate right. So a 3rd party tool would be needed to do this.at least 2008R2 is better then 2003 where you could only expand once.
