How to Extend Partition on Windows computer?


About “Extend Partition”


Extend Partition directly takes free space from any other existing partitions or unallocated space to enlarge a partition on the same disk while “Move/Resize Partition” requires contiguous unallocated space. Under the following 2 situations, “Extend Partition” is suggested:
1.Extend a partition to non-contiguous unallocated or free space.
2.There is no unallocated or free space on the disk.

How to Extend Partition


Step 1: run MiniTool Partition Wizard to get its main interface:

Step 2: select the partition which needs extending and choose “Extend Partition” from the left panel or choose “Extend” from the right-click menu.

Step 3: open the drop-down list of “Take Free Space from” and choose a partition or unallocated space to take free space. Then, drag the sliding handle leftwards or rightwards to decide how much space to take, with partition size changing intuitively. After that, click “OK” to go back to the main interface:

Step 4: click “Apply” button on the top to apply changes.
