Hard drive

[nicholasarthur1]

So when basically copying my hard drive over to my new hard drive I didnt give myself enough room on the c section of the hard drive to install stuff on and i have plenty of room on the other part of the hard drive and would like to extend the c drive but don't know how i have searched around and tried to find it but to no evail.

You need to use something like Minitool partition wizard, reduce the size of the 2nd partition, shift it right, and expand the first.

That will physically shift all the data that is on the 2nd partition, so it's going to take many hours and since there is a risk for things to go wrong you should backup anything important to another drive first.

You cannot do it with the Windows utility, need a third party program like the one I mentioned.

Uhm that's a recovery partition, not even a partition you made for your data??

 

Can probably get rid of it entirely and expand the C drive then, no moving needed.
