Windows 10 unallocated space

[Nick_K]

I upgraded my 320gb hard drive to a 2tb and use EaseUS cloning software and now i have 1.53 terabytes of unallocated space.. When I try to format it the message says not enough space. Any advice??

When you go to Disk Management, can u right click on your C: drive and Extend Volume to include the unallocated space?

Is it possible to give us a screenshot of your Disk Management

You'll have to set that up as a "second" drive since the recovery partition is in the way.

 

Just hit "New Simple volume" and use all the default setting and it should set up as a second drive.

 

Or is that what's not working?

Is this a MBR drive? On MBR disk, there can only be 4 primary partitions at most or three primary partitions plus one extended partition. You can convert the last 450MB partition to logical with free partition tool (i recommend minitool partition tool or easeus partition master), and then create a new logical data drive on the unallocated space. Converting recovery partition to logical could not affect system boot.

But honestly, i haven't made such a test, so. i am not sure whether it will affect Windows restore.
