Hi, I just bought Lenovo 330-14IKB and it come with pre-installed windows 10 Home64bit with 1TB and come with 2 partitions Windows( C: ) 889GB and Lenovo( D: ) 24,9GB, so what I'm going to do is to make partition but when I try to shrink the C: drive it only allow me to shrink it to 449GB while I want it to become 300GB. So it is safe to shrink the C: drive beyond that limit using 3rd party software and will it affects my System Recovery or acces to the Novo Button for reset in the future? because inside a Lenovo( D: ) there are some drivers and onekey recovery which I thought the recovery system/Novo there so i'm still unsure if it okay to shrink my C: . Any help would be appreciate :)

What size is the physical drive?
What size are the two partitions?
What size are you considering shrinking the SO partition to?
What OS is this?

First, run a full defrag on the drive.

Sorry for late reply,i've tried that before and it didn't work and i guess i will let it be as it is now because i won't risk to lose my system recovery. thanks anyway (y)
