Fix Extend Volume Option Greyed Out In Windows 10 | Extend C Drive

In this video, you will learn to fix extend volume option greyed out in Windows 10 while extending the disk partitions. If you want to extend the C drive but unable to do so because extend volume option is unclickable then you have some options depending on the disk partitions on your PC.

I have discussed all possible situations and their fixes, so watch the video till the end before applying any of these methods.
Note: It is advised to create a system restore point before following any Windows tutorial.

I don't understand why they made it so difficult to do 1 simple thing to extend your drive, finally found something that worked for me, well deserved sub

Really appreciate the walk through on this. Absolutely wild that we need to get 3rd party software involved to move the partition over, but glad its done now either way!

I usually avoid Indian tech advice videos because I can never understand what they're saying! But that was brilliant, thank you very much bro :)

[cschleny]

Thank you so much, it took me forever to find a reliable guide on this. You’re a lifesaver!

So far everything’s all good to go, Sandeep thank you for solving my hours of frustration.

Sandeep, You did an amazing job with this video. You spoke in a clear, slow manner so we can all follow along. You explained that you don’t recommend deleting the recovery partition which was great. And the best thing about your video is that you didn’t have background music!!! Most of us watching these how to computer videos are experiencing a major system issue. We are all in a panic. To add background music distracts us from the steps and can lead us to make mistakes. I really want to thank you again for your clear tutorial.

Making space with the AOMEI wasn't a part of the free trial version of it anymore, ended up deleting the recovery to fix this issue. Thanks a lot!

Brilliant! A comprehensive set of solutions explained...PLUS...I downloaded Aomei Partition Assistant FOR FREE and did it in seconds without deleting the recovery partition.

I had seen hundreds of videos before this but couldn't extend my drive c. It took me a couple of mins to extend my drive c after watching your video. Thanx a lot

[PharaohciousX]

Thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS! I just cloned my 120 GB SSD to a 512 GB SSD and could not allocate the unused space to the C drive because the recovery partition was between the C drive and unallocated space. With your help, I deleted the recovery partition, successfully extended the C drive, and used Macrium Reflect to restore my recovery partition from the original 120 GB SSD. Easy peasy!!!!

3:17 This, this is what I was looking for. Thank you. I never had anything on there anyways so I didn't mind. I hate these crappy third party ones where you have to pay for something you have to do one time, it's stupid. Thank you for the help.

Thank you so much for this video. After cloning my old SSD with the new SSD, I wasn't able to maximize its space because there was no Extend Volume option or Extend Volume option is not clickable. After watching this video, I was able to change the settings of my new SSD and maximized its space. Once again, thank you so much!

On a laptop HP EliteBook 850G8 I used the Windows Backup in order to upgrade the SSD from 250GB to 1TB. After the operation, the C: drive had 250GB, after it, it was a 500MB recovery partition and after 700GB+ unallocated and the extend of C: was greyed out. I used the tool mentioned by you in order to move the recovery partition at the end of the disk and after that, I extended the C: with the Disk Management embedded in Windows. Everything worked smooth and fast. Thank you!
