[SOLVED] Can't extend volume In partition process ?

[Moshtabok]

Hello to all
as the title says, i cant increase my ssd volume size. I got 2 ssds with different brands and speeds, one is lexar ns100 and the other one is adata u750 blue. i cant understand why its not working but i guess maybe its cuz of their different speeds.

Also gotta say that I used some partition programs and also the Windows built-in version.

I need your help on this ( and also sorry for bad english ) Thanks.

You have 2 physical drives.
Disk 0 is a 250GB drive, split into a C and D partition.

Disk 1 is a 512GB drive, the F drive.

Your Disk 0 is nearly full. Too full for comfort with an SSD, both main partitions.
Given how full those partitions are, there is little you can do with that drive.

And you can't "extend" into the Disk 1. It doesn't work like that.


What data is in the "D drive"?

Steam Games Mostly,

Do you mean isnt there anyway to use some part of the F drive for both C and D drives? Because they are seperate or what.

If you blow away the D partition you would be able to extend the C to the empty space on disk 0 (if you use Windows built-in tool then you'd also have to blow away the recovery partition to do this).

First copy everything on D to your present F drive. Afterwards, when there isn't a D drive anymore, you could simply reassign the letter D to what is now F. So all of Disk 1 would be D:

While you could instead clone the SATA disk to the NVMe one, moving Windows this way and getting it to boot would be more complicated, so if you are OK with a 250GB C: and 500GB D: that would be easier.

So then i cant use some of disk 1 for disk0...
But im worried if i copy the steam folder to another drive it will affect its settings

Alrighty i've done it, but now i cant extend the C volume, even i got 136gb unallocated space.
What has to be done?

You cannot extend C using Disk Management because D is in the way. That is just a shortcoming of Disk Management.

You can use a third party tool such as Minitool Partition Wizard which does NOT have that limitation.

There are other ways, but I'm not familiar with them.
