Can I Increase D Drive Space Without Data Loss

I noticed that my D drive is out of space due to the continuous game installations. I tried to extend the D drive in Disk Management. However, the 'Extend volume' option is greyed. Are there any other ways?

Disk Management won't allow users to extend their partitions when there isn't unallocated space behind the target partition. In this case, a reliable third-party partition extension tool is required. To help you break the Disk Management limitation and successfully increase the D partition size, I highly recommend you try the all-around tool - EaseUS Partition Master Professional.

It offers multiple features to cater to different scenarios, such as no unallocated space on disk and without adjacent unallocated space. Follow the easy instructions to increase D drive without data loss:

Situation 1. No Unallocated Space on the Disk

Step 1. Right-click on any partition with enough free space and choose "Allocate Space."

Step 2. Then, select the D drive and drag the partition panel rightward to add the unallocated space from another partition to the D drive. Click "OK" to begin.

Step 3. Choose the "Execute Task" > "Apply" buttons to confirm the operation.

Situation 2. Without Adjacent Free Space

If you have unallocated space on the disk but it's not continuous with the D drive, you can turn to the "Resize/Move" function of EaseUS Partition Master:

Step 1. Switch to Partition Manager, locate the D drive, and choose "Resize/Move."

Step 2. Drag the partition panel to add the unallocated space into the D drive, and hit "OK."
