How to resize Windows partition

  • System partition is a commonly used term in Windows operating systems, and it mainly refers to the partition used to boot Windows. Generally, system partition stores boot files of operating system, and most users put system partition and boot partition on the same partition, namely C partition. Along with long-term use of the computer, we will find there is less and less available space left on C partition, and the size of partition C will influence operating system's running speed. If we just transfer files on partition C to another partition, these files are easy to be lost or damaged in the process of transferring, which may result in running fault. In fact, besides this troublesome method, there is another safer and more effective method, namely resizing Windows partition. We can shrink the partition adjacent to the partition which is short of space, and then use the shrunk space to extend the destination partition. As a result, we can store more data on destination partition. Now, just a piece of professional partition magic can help us resize Windows partition quickly and easily.

    Here, drag the left triangle rightwards to shrink D partition. Then, click "OK" to go back to the main interface.



    From the main interface, we can see an unallocated space before D partition, which is divided from D partition. Then, we can extend C partition. Select C partition, and then click "Move/Resize" to get the following interface of "Move/Resize Partition" function:



    In this interface, the gray area next to the partition handle is the unallocated space. At this time, drag the right black triangle rightwards to extend C partition. Then, click "OK" to go back to the main interface again:



    Next, we will find the unallocated space disappears and C partition has been extended. And the space added to C partition has the same size as the unallocated space. However, we can not exit from the software hurriedly, because this is just a preview effect this partition magic offers.
