Disk partitioning in win 11

[Daweeedo]

I can't extend the capacity of my partition with windows installed, which i need to do. The extend volume button is grayed out, and i'd really like to extend the capacity on this particular one with windows on it. Is it disabled by default? If it is, is there any way to bypass this, or extend the capacity without needing a fresh windows install?

In Windows 11 click on settings, go to system, go to storage, advanced storage settings, disks & volumes. Find your Windows partition by drive letter on your boot disk, click on properties for the partition that is your primary Windows partition(usually labeled C: and the largest partition) then click change size. You'll need to know the exact amount in MB of free space you can extend the partition to in order for it to work this way. Otherwise a portable boot of WinPE with a partition assistant style program like Aomei will allow you to do it outside of Windows.
