Hi,

I have installed Windows 7 on a new SSD.
But the OS Partition size is too small. ( As shown in attachment )
I have lots of free space on an adjacent partition as shown.
How do I take some space from there and make OS Partition bigger.
I am not an expert so I will appreciate as much detailed instruction as possible.

Thank You

If I do that then C: becomes Huge partition by itself taking off the whole drive.. Then how do I make it to the size I want ?

Where it says "Select the amount of space in MB " it shows 311937 which is the available 304.63gb shown in MB (binary) .

So you change that to amount to 40960 you want to add. Then click next.

GB to MB Conversion Gigabytes to Megabytes Calculator


40 GB = 40960 MB (in binary) .
