00:00.080 --> 00:01.829
Do you want to know how to extend C

00:01.829 --> 00:01.839



00:01.839 --> 00:03.990
drive in Windows 11 with unallocated

00:03.990 --> 00:04.000



00:04.000 --> 00:06.309
space? Then you are at the right place

00:06.309 --> 00:06.319



00:06.319 --> 00:08.470
as here is how to do it. Let's get

00:08.470 --> 00:08.480



00:08.480 --> 00:13.990
started.

00:13.990 --> 00:14.000



00:14.000 --> 00:16.550
This is Windows Club. In this video, we

00:16.550 --> 00:16.560



00:16.560 --> 00:18.230
will show you how to extend the C drive

00:18.230 --> 00:18.240



00:18.240 --> 00:20.950
in Windows 11 with unallocated space. If

00:20.950 --> 00:20.960



00:20.960 --> 00:22.710
there is insufficient space to install

00:22.710 --> 00:22.720



00:22.720 --> 00:24.710
system updates, maintain or improve

00:24.710 --> 00:24.720



00:24.720 --> 00:27.269
performance, prevent crashes, etc.,

00:27.269 --> 00:27.279



00:27.279 --> 00:29.349
Extending the C drive or system drive

00:29.349 --> 00:29.359



00:29.359 --> 00:31.429
can be helpful. You can safely extend

00:31.429 --> 00:31.439



00:31.439 --> 00:33.430
the C drive space without losing any

00:33.430 --> 00:33.440



00:33.440 --> 00:36.549
data or formatting your SSD or HDD.

00:36.549 --> 00:36.559



00:36.559 --> 00:38.150
Whether the unallocated space is

00:38.150 --> 00:38.160



00:38.160 --> 00:39.910
directly adjacent to the C drive, which

00:39.910 --> 00:39.920



00:39.920 --> 00:42.069
is a must on the right hand side or not,

00:42.069 --> 00:42.079



00:42.079 --> 00:44.389
you can increase the C drive space. This

00:44.389 --> 00:44.399



00:44.399 --> 00:46.150
video covers both scenarios using

00:46.150 --> 00:46.160



00:46.160 --> 00:47.990
different methods with step-by-step

00:47.990 --> 00:48.000



00:48.000 --> 00:55.510
instructions. Let's get started.

00:55.510 --> 00:55.520



00:55.520 --> 00:58.069
One, extend the C drive in Windows 11

00:58.069 --> 00:58.079



00:58.079 --> 01:00.069
with adjacent unallocated space using

01:00.069 --> 01:00.079



01:00.079 --> 01:01.990
the disk management tool. Disk

01:01.990 --> 01:02.000



01:02.000 --> 01:03.670
management is a built-in utility to

01:03.670 --> 01:03.680



01:03.680 --> 01:06.550
Windows to create new partitions, resize

01:06.550 --> 01:06.560



01:06.560 --> 01:08.789
and extend partitions. However, this

01:08.789 --> 01:08.799



01:08.799 --> 01:10.469
option is helpful only if there is

01:10.469 --> 01:10.479



01:10.479 --> 01:13.109
contiguous unallocated space directly

01:13.109 --> 01:13.119



01:13.119 --> 01:15.670
next to the C drive. If there is say 10

01:15.670 --> 01:15.680



01:15.680 --> 01:17.590
GB unallocquitted space after the D

01:17.590 --> 01:17.600



01:17.600 --> 01:19.429
drive or E drive, then disk management

01:19.429 --> 01:19.439



01:19.439 --> 01:22.149
and other native tools won't be helpful.

01:22.149 --> 01:22.159



01:22.159 --> 01:24.070
Here are the steps. Open the disk

01:24.070 --> 01:24.080



01:24.080 --> 01:26.230
management tool using the search box.

01:26.230 --> 01:26.240



01:26.240 --> 01:27.670
Right click on the C drive and select

01:27.670 --> 01:27.680



01:27.680 --> 01:29.590
the extend volume option and extend

01:29.590 --> 01:29.600



01:29.600 --> 01:31.670
volume vert window will open. Press the

01:31.670 --> 01:31.680



01:31.680 --> 01:33.830
next button. You will see a select the

01:33.830 --> 01:33.840



01:33.840 --> 01:35.990
amount of space in MB option where you

01:35.990 --> 01:36.000



01:36.000 --> 01:37.590
can keep the default size to extend the

01:37.590 --> 01:37.600



01:37.600 --> 01:39.910
C drive or change the amount of space as

01:39.910 --> 01:39.920



01:39.920 --> 01:42.630
per your needs. Press next. Press

01:42.630 --> 01:42.640



01:42.640 --> 01:44.789
finish. You can also use the disk part

01:44.789 --> 01:44.799



01:44.799 --> 01:46.550
command line utility to resize a

01:46.550 --> 01:46.560



01:46.560 --> 01:49.270
partition in Windows 11 or 10. But this

01:49.270 --> 01:49.280



01:49.280 --> 01:50.950
utility also helps only if the

01:50.950 --> 01:50.960



01:50.960 --> 01:53.350
unallocated space is available next to

01:53.350 --> 01:53.360



01:53.360 --> 02:00.389
the C drive on the right side.

02:00.389 --> 02:00.399



02:00.399 --> 02:01.990
Two, extend the C drive with

02:01.990 --> 02:02.000



02:02.000 --> 02:03.749
non-adjacent unallocated space in

02:03.749 --> 02:03.759



02:03.759 --> 02:06.149
Windows 11 using a third party tool. You

02:06.149 --> 02:06.159



02:06.159 --> 02:07.830
can use a third party tool to extend the

02:07.830 --> 02:07.840



02:07.840 --> 02:09.990
C drive with non-adjacent unallocated

02:09.990 --> 02:10.000



02:10.000 --> 02:12.949
space in Windows 11. One such tool is

02:12.949 --> 02:12.959



02:12.959 --> 02:15.750
Aomi Partition Assistant. It creates

02:15.750 --> 02:15.760



02:15.760 --> 02:17.990
automatically Windows P and will enter

02:17.990 --> 02:18.000



02:18.000 --> 02:20.229
Windows P to complete the operation.

02:20.229 --> 02:20.239



02:20.239 --> 02:21.990
Before you proceed, it is advised to

02:21.990 --> 02:22.000



02:22.000 --> 02:23.990
clone your hard drive or use some

02:23.990 --> 02:24.000



02:24.000 --> 02:26.630
imaging recovery and backup software.

02:26.630 --> 02:26.640



02:26.640 --> 02:28.390
You should also create a bootable USB

02:28.390 --> 02:28.400



02:28.400 --> 02:30.790
drive and keep it ready just in case.

02:30.790 --> 02:30.800



02:30.800 --> 02:33.190
Also, turn off device encryption and bit

02:33.190 --> 02:33.200



02:33.200 --> 02:35.030
locker to act. Here are the steps to

02:35.030 --> 02:35.040



02:35.040 --> 02:36.710
extend the C drive with non-adjacent

02:36.710 --> 02:36.720



02:36.720 --> 02:39.190
unallocated space using this tool. Open

02:39.190 --> 02:39.200



02:39.200 --> 02:41.430
the interface of the AMEI partition

02:41.430 --> 02:41.440



02:41.440 --> 02:43.190
assistant tool and you will see a list

02:43.190 --> 02:43.200



02:43.200 --> 02:45.430
of all the hard drives. Right click on

02:45.430 --> 02:45.440



02:45.440 --> 02:47.430
the C drive then select advanced then

02:47.430 --> 02:47.440



02:47.440 --> 02:49.830
merge partitions. A new window will

02:49.830 --> 02:49.840



02:49.840 --> 02:51.910
open. In that window select a disk if

02:51.910 --> 02:51.920



02:51.920 --> 02:53.589
there is one more disck. Select the

02:53.589 --> 02:53.599



02:53.599 --> 02:55.670
unallocated partitions from the list and

02:55.670 --> 02:55.680



02:55.680 --> 02:57.750
press okay. Press the apply button in

02:57.750 --> 02:57.760



02:57.760 --> 02:59.270
the top left corner of its main

02:59.270 --> 02:59.280



02:59.280 --> 03:01.670
interface. Appending operations box will

03:01.670 --> 03:01.680



03:01.680 --> 03:03.509
open. Here you can check the operations

03:03.509 --> 03:03.519



03:03.519 --> 03:05.589
like move partition and resize partition

03:05.589 --> 03:05.599



03:05.599 --> 03:07.430
that will be performed and other

03:07.430 --> 03:07.440



03:07.440 --> 03:09.910
details. Press the proceed button. The

03:09.910 --> 03:09.920



03:09.920 --> 03:12.149
operation requires a PC reboot. Press

03:12.149 --> 03:12.159



03:12.159 --> 03:13.990
the okay button to confirm to restart

03:13.990 --> 03:14.000



03:14.000 --> 03:16.710
into Windows PE mode. Now this tool will

03:16.710 --> 03:16.720



03:16.720 --> 03:18.790
automatically create Windows P mode and

03:18.790 --> 03:18.800



03:18.800 --> 03:21.110
boot into to start performing operations

03:21.110 --> 03:21.120



03:21.120 --> 03:23.509
one by one. Press the restart now button

03:23.509 --> 03:23.519



03:23.519 --> 03:25.190
once all the operations are completed

03:25.190 --> 03:25.200



03:25.200 --> 03:27.110
successfully. Your PC will boot into

03:27.110 --> 03:27.120



03:27.120 --> 03:29.589
normal mode. After logging into your PC,

03:29.589 --> 03:29.599



03:29.599 --> 03:31.509
open the file explorer or disk

03:31.509 --> 03:31.519



03:31.519 --> 03:33.110
management tool and you will see that

03:33.110 --> 03:33.120



03:33.120 --> 03:35.509
the C drive is extended successfully.

03:35.509 --> 03:35.519



03:35.519 --> 03:37.430
Likewise, there are some best disk and

03:37.430 --> 03:37.440



03:37.440 --> 03:39.509
partition manager software for Windows

03:39.509 --> 03:39.519



03:39.519 --> 03:42.630
11 to resize and extend the C drive with

03:42.630 --> 03:42.640



03:42.640 --> 03:44.149
non-ontiguous

03:44.149 --> 03:44.159



03:44.159 --> 03:46.710
space. You can try. So that's it.

03:46.710 --> 03:46.720
