I made the mistake of only giving myself 64gb of space on my system files partition and need to make it bigger.

Can I do this by simply making a system image with all my partitions (1 HDD) included, reformat and then load everything back where it was and have a different amount of space on each?

I think you can do that with Start>type "Computer Management" and select it. Then expand "Storage" and Click Disk Management. You should be able to adjust the sizes there without reformatting.
