Windows Disk Management won’t let you extend C drive unless the space is right next to it. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to solve this using a free partition manager.
Part 1: Disk Manager
When you want to expand non-adjacent space in Disk Manager, you will find that the Expand Disk button of Disk Manager is gray and cannot be expanded. So we need to use a third-party tool to achieve the expansion.
part2: AOMEI Partition Assistant
Step 1: Open the software
Open the software, left-click the system disk we want to expand
Step 2: Select the function of merging partitions
Right-click the system disk then select "Advanced" "Merge Partitions" at the pop-out menu.
Step 3: Select the merge area
Then, it will move to the window where you can assign unallocated space to C drive by selecting the partitions in the box. Click "OK".
Step 4: Confirm the merge
Here you can see that you have already extended the C partition by adding the unallocated space to the C drive. Don’t forget to click "Apply" to submit the whole operations.
