If there is insufficient disk space on your C drive, D drive, or E drive, you can easily transfer space from one partition to another with EaseUS Partition Master. This disk management software can reallocate disk space in Windows 11/10/8/7 without formatting. Follow the steps below to reallocate disk space and extend your hard drive partition.
"I have 2TB of storage divided into two drives, C and D. I continue to get messages that I'm running out of disk space on drive C (currently allocated at 118 GB), so I tried to shrink drive D (with 1.4 TB of available space) to expand drive C. The process of shrinking drive D worked. But when I went to reallocate the freed space to expand drive C, the "expand" command was shadowed out, and I was unable to expand drive C. Am I missing something in the mechanics of reallocating space? Has anyone experienced a similar problem and, if so, can you share how this can be facilitated?"
