This guide will show you how to shrink or extend a partition on your hard drive. 1. Right click on Computer and then click Manage. 2. In the left pane, click Storage and then Disk Management. Your screen should now look something like this: 3. Now you see all your partitions which you have created. To shrink a partition, simply right click on the partition and choose Shrink Volume. 4. On the next screen you can enter the amount of space to shrink in megabytes (MB). If you would like to extend a partition, you will need to make sure there is empty space available behind the partition. Then go back to step 4 and instead select Extend Volume.
