How do I increase the C drive partition size in Windows 8.1? I plan to reduce one of the other drive sizes (D, E, and F) so that I can allot the space to the C drive. Does anybody know how to do it with reliable software?
According to what you said, you want to reallocate the free space of another partition to the system C partition. I will introduce two practical ways to help you achieve there. Read on and learn the tutorial in detail.
Method 1. Professional Partition Manager
A handy tool will save you time and effort, so I highly recommend EaseUS Partition Master. This third-party software facilitates a broad spectrum of disk-related tasks with ease and efficiency, which generates a "Allocate Space" feature that can increase C drive in an advanced way. Beyond allocating space, it can also resize disk partitions safely.
Let me show you how to operate this feature:
Step 1. Right-click on the partition next to the system partition with much free space and click "Allocate Space."
Step 2. Select the system C partition and drag its end rightward by holding the mouse. Then click "OK" to confirm the action.
Step 3. Choose "Execute Task" > "Apply" to begin the allocating process.
Method 2. Disk Management
As a Windows built-in tool, Disk Management can offer reliable technical support to assist users in resizing Windows server partitions and increasing the system partition by reducing other partition's unused space. However, it's time-consuming, and you can only allocate the free space from adjacent partition. Here is how to do so:
