How To
How To Merge/Combine Partitions In Windows 10
Are you looking for merging your hard disk partitions? You are in the right place. There are various reasons for combining the partitions in Windows 10, and one of the most common reason is to add greater storage to a drive by combining another drive or unallocated space with it.
For instance you need a storage to install a software or Paste files in a drive and that drive does not have the enough storage, now what you can do is that you can create unallocated space from other drives and merge that unallocated space with that drive.
You can create unallocated space either by Shrinking a drive or by Deleting a drive. Deleting a drive means completely deleting one drive and combine its unallocated storage with the other drive.
In Computer Management you can Delete, Shrink & Merge the Windows partitions. It is very simple to combine the 2 drives or partitions in Windows 10.
Step 1:
- Click on Windows Search Bar.
- Click Control Panel.
- Click Administrative Tools.
- Click Computer Management.
- Click Storage.
- Click Disk Management.
Step 2:
- Select the drive, which you want to combine. Like here, I want to combine the drive Basit (I:) with Drive Basit_E (D:). So I will Delete Basit (I:)
- Right click on that Drive.
- Click Delete Volume.
- You can see that 2.00 GB of space has been Unallocated.
Step 3:
- Now Select the Drive to which you want to combine the Drive. Like I want to combine 2.00 GB unallocated space with Basit_E (D:).
- Right click on that Drive.
- Click Extend Volume.
- Click Next.
