A hard drive is divided into one or more partitions to store system and personal data seperately. The partitioning operation is usually performed prior to system installation, after which people are able to keep Windows and personal files in separate partitions. However, as time goes on, users may not be satisfied with the size of certain partition, for example, one partition needs more space to hold newly created video clips. Then you need to change partition size to manage files in a better way.<\/p>\n

Besides, some users just upgraded system from Windows XP\/7 to Windows 10 or Windows 11, and they realize the C: partition doesn\u2019t have enough free space to install programs. However, there is pretty much free space in D: partition. Then changing partition size by increasing system partition and reducing D partition size in Windows 10 is the best choice.<\/p>\n

\"change<\/p>\n

Then follow the wizard to extend partition.<\/p>\n
