With the help of Partition Assistant, you never need to worry about the data loss. You just need to read the prompt and move your mouse to work according to them.
In the following, I explain to you tips on how to extend system partition, that is, C partition. Procedures are listed as follows:
1. Download the Partition Assistant Home Edition (Free Edition) and install it.
2. Next, it will show you these types of view (C:, D: and unallocated space); it is your disk condition just lately (We take this for example).
3. Click C partition, here you notice below at the "Move and Resize" column that C partition isn't allowed to extend owing to no free space. Thus, how to do?
4. Look at the following view: we must put the unallocated space next to the C partition if we wish to extend from it. So, first of all, move the partition D. Click the D partition make it stay in the "Move and Resize" column, after your mouse to be a squared-cross, keep clicking the right side of mouse and drag to the right.
5. Once accomplished the top operation, you will see this D: partition was moved to here as well as the unallocated space is beside the C partition.
6. Currently, it is time to extend C partition: Click C partition to make it stay in the "Move and Resize" column, put your mouse in the right side and turn into a double arrow, next, drive to the right. When you drag it, you could read the amount showed in the left side of C partition; drag it according to your target volume.
7. After finished the upper operation, you will see this C: partition was extended and there are two pending operations (Move D and Resize C).
