    My hard disk size is only 149.5GB.

    You can't extend it unless that 149.5 GB is simply a partition on a larger drive.

    More likely, it's the only partition on a 160 GB drive. In which case, you can't extend it.

    It's up to you to tell us more about the drive---what's the rated capacity, what it actually says on the drive (brand, model, capacity), what your receipt or documentation says, what an inspection tool such as Speccy might say about it, etc.

    If it can't be extended, you can replace it with another larger drive or possibly even keep that drive and add another drive--internal or external. We don't have enough details about the PC or the PC case, but most cases can accept two internal drives or more.

    Just add another drive, a 1 TB drive is cheap.
