Geeks - Merging unallocated space into a system partition in Windows 10 can be useful in a number of situations. For example, you may have unallocated space on your hard drive that you want to use to expand the system partition, or you may have accidentally deleted the wrong partition and created unallocated space that you want to merge with the system partition.
There are several ways to merge unallocated space into a system partition in Windows 10, and each method has its own benefits and drawbacks. Here are three common methods:
Using Disk Management:
One way to merge unallocated space into a system partition is to use the built-in Disk Management tool in Windows 10. To do this, follow these steps:
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog, then type "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter. This will open the Disk Management tool.
Right-click on the system partition that you want to expand and select "Extend Volume."
In the Extend Volume Wizard, click "Next" to proceed.
Select the unallocated space that you want to merge with the system partition, then click "Next."
Review the summary of the changes that will be made, then click "Finish" to complete the process.
Using a third-party partitioning tool:
Another option is to use a third-party partitioning tool to merge unallocated space into a system partition. There are many such tools available, including EaseUS Partition Master, MiniTool Partition Wizard, and AOMEI Partition Assistant. These tools generally offer a more user-friendly interface and more advanced features than the built-in Disk Management tool, and may be easier to use for those who are not comfortable with command-line tools.
To use a third-party partitioning tool to merge unallocated space into a system partition, follow these steps:
Download and install the partitioning tool of your choice.
Launch the partitioning tool and select the system partition that you want to expand.
Click the "Merge" or "Extend" button (the exact wording may vary depending on the tool you are using).
Select the unallocated space that you want to merge with the system partition, then click "Apply" or "OK" to complete the process.
Using the command prompt:
If you are comfortable with command-line tools, you can use the command prompt to merge unallocated space into a system partition. To do this, follow these steps:
Press the Windows key + X to open the Power User menu, then select "Command Prompt (Admin)."
At the command prompt, type "diskpart" and press Enter.
Type "list volume" and press Enter to view a list of available volumes.
Type "select volume [volume number]" to select the system partition that you want to expand, replacing "[volume number]" with the actual volume number of the system partition.
Type "extend size=[size in MB]" to merge the unallocated space into the system partition, replacing "[size in MB]"
