Extend volume greyed out

[michaelmk86]

I want the unallocated space to be incorporated in to C partition but the Extend volume is greyed out in windows 10 disk management

I try EaseUS to Extend Volume but I get "Unknown Error There may be some error on operating partition"

You can only 'extend' to the right.
The C partition must be to the left of that 333GB Unallocated.

Extend uses space to the right side of the partition. That is why it is greyed out.

Now comes something that you will have to look out for. If you do manage to move the start of c drive into that un-allocated space your system may have issues with startup.

If you had another OS installed you could use it to both move+extend the partition and fix your boot loader(it is in the system reserved partition.). You may also be able to fix it on another system the same way.

A program called EasyBCD can edit the boot loader. You have to tell it to load one from another drive and give the system reserved partition a letter.

It does take some work, but can be done.

Thanks guys, I move the C partition to the left with the EaseUS and then it allow me to extend, now it is perfectly fine as far I am concerned.

Glad to see you got it setup. I guess EaseUS has become better with moving OS partitions. This is good to know.
