my notebook's hard drive is divided in 2 partitions, the main partition c: is 99gb and the other 135gb
I filled the main partition and I need more space, but I cant move some space from the second partition to the main. when i right click on the partition I can't click on expand volume, but if I try to expand the second partition there is no problem

You cant use windows because the two partitions are right next to each other. For Windows to be able to do it the unallocated space has to be right next to, to the right of, the partition you want to expand. Form what you describe, your unallocated space is right next to the 2nd partition which is why it expands no problem.

You need a different utility than windows to do this which has already been mentioned.
