My computer had a slow, old HDD with 1TB of storage which I am trying to replace with a 2TB SSD. I cloned the HDD onto the SSD and now I have 1TB of allocates space.
The drive currently has three partitions, the first and third are small ~500MB partitions which I assume are required for the primary drive. The second partition is the main partition, containing about a TB of storage. Then, I have 931GB of “Free Space”.
Is there any way I can use this new free space to extend this partition? When I tried “Extend Volume” it didn’t allow me to extend the partition any further, saying that it was already at its maximum (so it didn’t let me use the new free space). Is there any other way I can go about utilizing this new extra storage with this partition (other than simply creating a new partition and using that)?
Thank you in advance!
