How to extend the local disk C on a desktop if it is currently full.

To extend the local disk C on a desktop if it is currently full, you can follow these steps:

1. Backup your important data: Before making any changes to your disk partitions, it is important to backup your important data to prevent any data loss.

2. Use Disk Management tool: Press the Windows key + R, type "diskmgmt.msc" and press Enter to open the Disk Management tool.

3. Shrink another partition: If you have another partition with free space on the same disk, you can shrink that partition to create unallocated space. Right-click on the partition you want to shrink, select "Shrink Volume" and follow the on-screen instructions.

4. Extend the C drive: Right-click on the C drive, select "Extend Volume" and follow the on-screen instructions to add the unallocated space to the C drive.

5. Use third-party partition manager software: If you do not have another partition to shrink, you can use third-party partition manager software like EaseUS Partition Master or MiniTool Partition Wizard to extend the C drive.

6. Restart your computer: After extending the C drive, restart your computer to apply the changes.

By following these steps, you can extend the local disk C on your desktop if it is currently full.

Option 1: Using Disk Management

1. Right-click on the Start button and select "Disk Management."
2. Locate the C: drive in the list of disks.
3. Right-click on the C: drive and select "Extend Volume..."
4. A wizard will appear. Click "Next."
5. Select the unallocated space that you want to add to the C: drive and click "Next."
6. Review the information and click "Finish."

Option 2: Using Third-Party Software

There are several third-party software programs that can extend the local disk C. Some popular options include:

- EaseUS Partition Master
- MiniTool Partition Wizard
- AOMEI Partition Assistant

Follow the specific instructions provided by the software to extend the C: drive.

Additional Tips

- Before extending the C: drive, back up your important data in case of any data loss.
- Make sure that there is enough unallocated space on the same physical disk as the C: drive.
- If the unallocated space is on a different physical disk, you will need to use a software program that supports extending a volume across multiple disks.
- Extend the C: drive gradually. Extending it by too much at once can cause performance issues.

Thanks, but the disc to be extended is not allowing any process because the word extend volume is not functioning. How can I solve it?
