There are a variety of ways to do that - depending on your disk layout. Why don't you post a picture of your disk management. Than we can give you a more intelligent suggestion.

PS: there is an easy way and a hard way. But the easy way requires to run with a free OEM program from a CD. Do you think you could handle this - download the .iso, burn to CD, boot from CD ?? We would give you the links.

Hi Angus94,

Kindly post the screenshot as suggested by whs. You could also check at this which I use and works perfectly on my system:

Free partition manager software to resize partitions - EaseUS Partition Master Free

Here is how you can increase the partition size:

However, please post the screenshot I am sure whs would be able to suggest much better ways as well.

Keep us posted with the results so we can advise you further.
