Using Diskpart in a Elevated Command Prompt
1. If you have not already, you will first need to delete the partition or volume that you want to extend into to make it unallocated space.That's it,
2. Open a elevated command prompt, or a command prompt at boot.
3. In the elevated command prompt, type diskpart and press Enter. (See screenshot below)4. In the elevated command prompt, type list disk and press Enter. (See screenshot below)![]()
NOTE: This is to help you ID the disk that has Free space that you want to extend into, and to see the disk size to make it easier to ID it's volume number in step 5. For example, Disk 1.5. In the elevated command prompt, type list volume and press Enter. (See screenshot below)![]()
NOTE: Look for the volume number that has the same Size as from the size in step 4 minus the Free space. For example, Volume 2.6. In the elevated command prompt, type select volume # and press Enter. (See screenshot below)![]()
NOTE: You would substitute # for the volume number listed that you want to extend. For example, I want to extend the listed volume 2 since, so I would type select volume 2 and press Enter.7. To Extend into All of the Unallocated Space
