Thank you sooo much. I got an ssd from an old xbox one i had and i planed on using it on my pc but it was split up into 5 different volumes, and i had no clue what to do. But thanks to your video i now have so much extra space. You are a life saver.
Hi there is there a way to save the data on the recovered data as I created or tried to create a recovery point but it split my driver in two and prevented me from accessing the driver with my data on it?
Every result on Google was that of a bunch of different software websites trying to get me to download their freaking product. Thanks for this solution.
hello there man, i have a question. so i have already drive C, D, and E (os is installed in C) and im planning on getting a SSD and install a new os there, and im planning on making my ssd as my C disk, can i format my C and E disk and then combine it during the Windows installation setup or should i install the windows first and then do it like in the video?
If a fresh installation of Windows is possible, I would do that on the SSD. Then you can copy everything from the old drive, wipe it, and have the whole disk as storage. I wouldn't try to pool the SSD and HDD storage. There are transfer programs that can copy your windows installation from an existing drive to a new drive. Samsung makes this very easy.
My prebuilt for some reason had unallocated space when it came, half of the space was not used. The support team told me i had to reinstall windows to delete the unallocated partition and be able to use the full capacity. your tutorial seems easier and its giving me the option to extended, Should i do this or reinstall windows? Thanks
I would extend, but with actions like these, there's always a chance something will go wrong. Be prepared to reinstall Windows, but it sounds like extending would work.
Im not sure if you will see this, but it says there are 554 mb health recovery partition between my windows C and my unallocated storage. It wont let me extend the volume.
I'm trying to dual boot with Manjaro. Naturally, you can't create more than 4 partitions because of HP Recovery and HP Tools being their own partitions after C and System. So which one is "safe" to delete? I'm running on an old laptop from 2015 with nothing on it so I don't care if I lose anything.
Oh I appreciate the help man now I can finally install call of duty Warzone without worrying, I only have 512gb ssd on my new laptop and there was two disks each got 232 gb and the game needs a lot of space and probably wouldn't have continued downloading on a disk with that size, now I'm just fine I combined both of the disks
Good deal. That game is out of control with patches. Combining partitions won't have an impact on performance. If anything it's simplifying the configuration.
OK so heres a question will only ONE of the TWO parts be fully deleted and the other one not? for example I have 2 parts one is total of 736gb and I have 90gb left the other one is 195gb where theres still 176gb left. So I wanna combine these two but dont fully delete everything. So if I combine them only one of them will delete everything?
Everything on the partition you delete will be deleted. You should move everything to the partition where the OS is installed and delete the other one. Then extend.
Hello I'm new to PC and i bought manny games and I'm kinda running outta GB, and i have something called new volume (d with 900 GB is there anyway where u can add the new volume to windos GB
I have a different question. If i dont wanna combine the 2 partitions into 1, instead i want to format the one partition. If i format the one (partition), will both the partitions be formated? Because you know physically i have one hard drive and that confuses me...
What if it still doesn't give the option of extending the C: Drive because even though I Deleted a drive it doesn't let me extend the C:Drive, it only lets me extend the other hard drives on my pc.
I've seen this before. Make sure you're logged in as an administrator and run Disk Management as admin. If that doesn't work try it again after a restart. If that doesn't work, I don't know. It's happened to me with prebuilt PCs. A couple of Asus computers, a Lenovo, and a Dell. I don't know how they lock them down. I didn't see that they were password protected or anything. Good luck.
That can't be done using the method above. Windows 10 has a feature called storage spaces. You can combine a few drives and treat them like one storage pool. I haven't made a video for that, but I should.
when I try to do it, it says that the selected basic disk will be converted to a dynamic disk. Should I press "yes" and proceed with it and is there anything that I should look out for in doing so?
Hi I remoed the volume on the second partition so its not allocated, but when I press my C drive I don't have the expand storage as option? What to do???
Hi, when I go on disk management I have disk 0 which is where my windows C is. then Disk 1 and disk 2 which are usb hard drives. How can I combine the disks into one? Thanks
Not this way, and that could result in super slow performance depending on the drives and the USB spec. You can try using storage spaces in Windows 10 to combine different physical drives into a single storage space. I don't know if it will work with your USB drives.
I have only Hdd with C and D. If i buy Sdd and instal Windows on the new drive, can i extend D from C wich is on Hdd without eraseing the information on D?
No. You can't extend the drive to another drive. You can use a transfer tool to move the data from your C drive to an SSD. If the C and D are on the same single drive you can move everything from D to C and then extend the C partition after deleting D and then transfer the extended C to an SSD. That's probably the best method. Samsung makes a pretty reliable transfer tool you can use with their SSDs.
what happens if i have two disks, 0 and 1, and the partitions are separated in each of them? is there a way i can get rid of one of the disks so that i can combine the partritions?
This is a guide for a single disk with multiple partitions. If you want to combine multiple disks, that a different process. Search for Windows storage spaces.
If you only have one physical drive you need to delete D: and then you should be able to extend. If you did this and it isn't working, try running disk manager as an administrator.
I still have a disk split into two partitions, but they just share a drive letter now, and they turned from blue to yellow in the disk manager. It's a drive that contains a no-longer-used Windows installation from another computer, but I want to just turn it into a single partition and format it.
@@DJHicks Yeah, it's strange. It only appears that way in disk management. It's just half a gig of wasted space I suppose, so not THAT big of a deal. Thanks anyway.
how do you make a drive just for your window computer thingy and how do i delete most of my files that i dont need because i keep running out of storage and I try to look up how to make storage but nothing work and i really need a fix because i sick of getting the notification that i have no storage and i cant ran any game/app that on that disk and i tried to move them to another drive but it wont let me please help me i really want this fix. I hope you reply to this comment and help me out. sorry for a ever long comment. but i want a fix so i dont have to restart my computer because i downloaded all my games on it and i cant be bother waiting for them to download
If you want to merge partitions from the same drive one will have to be erased. The primary partition you don't erase will be expanded to take up the free space.
What if you moved two different partitions from two different hard drives to one new one and just want to combine those two? Is there a way? I have a lot of stuff on here that I want to keep.
That's a stretch. I'd probably back everything up in the cloud or on an external drive and then try to combine partitions. Probably the most stable process would be to back up and do a fresh install of Windows, then copy everything back if you need it on the drive. You can delete all partitions and claim all the space during a fresh OS installation.
@@DJHicks Yeah! I ended up having to do a fresh install of windows. I combined the partitions and deleted the extra partition and my entire Windows got messed up so I just wiped the drive and reinstalled everything again aha
i really dont understand this so i have unalocated space all the way on the left and i dont know how or why and becasue of this i cant do anything with it
Trying to do this on a 2tb Hard Drive I partitioned years ago. One is deleted and the other is NTFS. I right-click NTFS and select Extend Volume. After following the rest, it returns with this error message: The operation is not supported by the object. Before that, it tells me it’s going to change the volumes to Dynamic (whatever that means). Any ideas?
@@DJHicks I actually managed to combine them afterwards. But I honestly don’t remember how I did it. I think I needed to change it to a different format to do so.
Can you help please I deleted the other disk and itsays it's free space with 365.76 gb with light green colour on top but I can't extend it to the c disk
If it's another disk, you can't extend it. If it's the same disk with a different partition, you should be able to extend it if you're logged in as an administrator.
Thank you sooo much. I got an ssd from an old xbox one i had and i planed on using it on my pc but it was split up into 5 different volumes, and i had no clue what to do. But thanks to your video i now have so much extra space. You are a life saver.

Thank you.
Thanks a ton brother! love from India.
Nice video! Also is there way to seperate the hdds them after they are combined?
You could shrink and create multiple partitions or start fresh by wiping the disk and creating however many partitions you like.

When i delete D partition, i get free space, not unallocated. if i delete that free space, will i lose it forever or it will become unallocated?
This is very excellent presentation, that works. Thank you..
Thank you very much.
Thanks so much it worked! But I have a question, is it okay to reinstall windows or update windows with my combined drive? Btw New Subscriber.
Good deal. Yes, you can reinstall Windows and update. If anything, the process is simpler now. Thanks.
PERFECT! I just added 120 gigs on my C drive! Yay!
Thanks so much It worked!
I had 10 gb and 375 gb in my other disk so i made a backup file and removed the Disk then located it so now i got 385 tysm!

@@DJHicks ok great, thanks for answering
Can you combine partitions across multiple drives? I want to to setup a OS partition on one drive and combine the remaining space with a second drive.
Not using the method in this video. Look up "Windows Storage Spaces".
hey i have a problem. next my disk c is a disk of only 628 gb and next that is the disk d but i cannot merge disk d with c can you help?
AS ADVERTISED! PERFECT!!!

What if it still doesn't give the option of extending the C: Drive because even though I Deleted a drive it doesn't let me extend the C:Drive, it only lets me extend the other hard drives on my pc.
This is for combining multiple partitions on a single hard drive. If you have multiple hard drives this will not work.
Thanks For saving my time!

That can't be done using the method above. Windows 10 has a feature called storage spaces. You can combine a few drives and treat them like one storage pool. I haven't made a video for that, but I should.

Do not convert to dynamic disk. You might be working with two disks instead of two partitions on a single disk. This tutorial is for the latter.
Hi I remoed the volume on the second partition so its not allocated, but when I press my C drive I don't have the expand storage as option? What to do???
