I am trying to merge two partitions on my Windows machine. But I don't want to lose any of my data. Do you have any recommendations on the safest method to merge two partitions without data loss?

To help you merge partitions without data loss, I will provide the safest way and its step-by-step guide in this article. Before that, let's analyze why we need to combine partitions into one. Here are the main reasons:
Since you must delete volumes before combining two partitions using Disk Management, it may not be the best choice. I will introduce the safest way - EaseUS Partition Master, which can merge two partitions without deleting a partition or any data. Furthermore, Disk Management only allows you to merge partitions that are next to each other, but EaseUS Partition Master empowers you to combine partitions that are non-adjacent.
Option 1. For Adjacent Partitions
Step 1. Launch EaseUS Partition Master, right-click on the partition that is kept, and choose "Merge."
Step 2. Pick one partition next to the selected partition to combine. Click "OK" to check.
Step 3. Select "Execute Task" > "Apply" to confirm the process of combining two partitions.
Option 2. For Non-adjacent Partitions
Disk Management cannot extend volume when the two partitions are not adjacent. However, the EaseUS Partition Master will cover you with its "Allocate Space" feature in this case.
Step 1. Under the "Partition Manager" tab, right-click the partition with free space and choose "Allocate Space."
Step 2. Find the low-space partition and drag the partition panel rightward to increase space. Then click "OK" to ensure.
Step 3. Click the "Execute Task" button > "Apply" option to boost the process.
