How to Merge Non-Adjacent Partitions in Windows 10, 8, 7?
Geeks - It is possible to merge two or more non-adjacent partitions on a hard drive in Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7 using the built-in Disk Management tool. Here's how to do it:
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, then type "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter. This will open the Disk Management tool.
In the Disk Management tool, right-click on the partition that you want to merge with another partition, and select "Delete Volume."
Repeat step 2 for any additional partitions that you want to merge.
Right-click on the partition that you want to expand, and select "Extend Volume."
In the Extend Volume Wizard, click "Next" to proceed.
Select the amount of space that you want to add to the partition, then click "Next."
Review the summary of your changes, and click "Finish" to complete the process.
Keep in mind that you can only merge partitions that are on the same physical hard drive. You cannot merge partitions on separate hard drives or on a removable drive. Additionally, you will not be able to merge partitions if the partition that you want to expand is not adjacent to the partition that you are deleting.
It is also worth noting that merging partitions will erase all data on the partitions that you delete. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
