Win 10 Disk Partitions

    I need more space on my C drive and with windows 10 installed I figured it would be easy peasy.

    I've freed up some space but because of that green border the space isn't available on my C drive.

    Any ideas how to get around this?

    On the other hand, there'd be no need if itunes would let me backup to E or F!

    Can you right click on the C block and select "Extend Volume"?

    No, I can only shrink it.

    It won't work as it is contiguous space. However, you might be able to do this with EaseUS's Partition Master (there is a free version). Even if just through some partition moving and then extending the C: drive once there is contiguous space.

    EaseUS doesn't work on win10
    but I managed to balls something up and took my computer to my local guy who ballsed something else up and I'm now back on win 7, and I don't really need the space on the C: from the image above (it's now called d:)

    If I format d: will e: and f: be safe?

    As long as you only format the d: drive then it won't touch any of the other partitions.
