[New] How to Add Unallocated Space to C Drive in Windows 11/10
Can I Move Unallocated Disk Space to C Drive in Windows 11/10
I partitioned my laptop disk into two partitions, partition C, and partition D when I bought it two years ago. The C drive is only 11/10 GB and D drive is 65 GB. Now I find that the system drive is too small to perform well. So I want to shrink D drive to create some unallocated space, and then I can extend C drive with unallocated space. However, I have no idea how to merge unallocated space into C drive. I am using Windows 11/10. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
