How To Merge Hard Drive Partitions On Your Windows 10 Boot Drive Without Deleting Anything

it is actually rather interesting how cloning an drive to a larger drive results in a partition that is the same size as the original drive but heres how to fix it or combine an unwanted partition on your main os / operating system drive. if it didnt have an os on it would be as easy as deleting the unwanted partition but this does a good job of merging them together without having to delete anything.

EaseUS sadly has changed their software so that the pro version is needed to merge partitions. However, Aomei while their cloning isn't free their partition assistant is which allowed me to easily merge my drives in practically the same manner as this video. The partition you are merging with your OS drive will need to be empty though, most likely it is, but just wanted to include that info.

As soon as I allowed Ease US to restart my computer, windows won't boot smh.
UPDATE: I literally unplugged the nvme-usbc and it booted it up. Then I plugged it back in and went through the steps again, now I can finally use my drive. Thank you!

2024: pay $25 to some smelly app developer for their shitty adbloat software to complete one simple task that should be able to be done in disk manager.

I now have a Z: drive containing the EFI and Reserved partitions. Also may I suggested that you turn on the show clicks future so that it is obvious where you are clicking, for individuals like me that have dementia.

Macrium Reflect absolutely lets you resize partitions to address the situation of target drives being smaller or larger than the source drive when cloning. I just took a 500GB multi-partition boot drive to a 1TB drive, and resized the Windows directory to fill all the free space. You just have to know how to use the software properly. Also, the resizing functions can be done using either sliders or numeric values. You also don’t have to copy all partitions when you clone, such as if you want to skip cloning the recovery partition.

How do I use a computer with two drives under 1 partition

[avoney]

I actually used this before when I was transferring my primary hard drive to my 970 Evo.

Good program overall to be fair

How can I merge my C-drive (with my OS and paid softwares) with my D-drive (with my Games) on the same HDD into one c-drive. With the technique explained above work?

bro please help me out man, so i have unallocated drive worth of nearly 1 T of space that used to be my D drive, for some reason when trying to extend and merge that unallocated Dynamic drive into my C drive which is in disk 1, the extend option on my C drive is greyed out :( I need storage please help! BTW the unallocated drive is in disk 0 so they are in separate disk

[CurvedSlightly]

EASUS and AEOI no longer free. Use Macrium reflect home, image Windows to another drive then image it back again selecting the option under advanced to extend to fill the drive, long winded but it's FREE and from SSD to SSD only take a few mins.

Thanks for the info! I have a challenge. And cannot do it so far. I have 2 separate SSDs and want to merge them into a single dual bootable SSD. My first SSD has 500gb win11 and it is MBR. I have a free partition of 250gb to place my info contained in the second SSD which is a Win10 MBR as well. Every software I tried only lets you clone a disk by eraring all partitions of the target disc… no program allows you to clone a OS in a certain partition of the target disc… let alone there is no info how to enable dual boot on the resulting setup.

can i merger 3 external usb hard drive to one

[mathewt]

Both easeUS and Aomei dont help. Neither will let me merge an unallocated partition to my c drive. Keeps wanting me to pay for a full version and im not paying $40 for a year when i just need 1 thing.

[Jixzl]

If one drive fails, do you lose everything with this method?

[waterchicken]

after merging all and disconnecting the old drive, the new 1TB drive split into 2 partitions (931 GB and 96MB) both are labeled local disk and i cannot open the smaller partition nor format it

[Dave-oigr]

I CANT MERGE WITH THIS EITHER TRIED AOEMI AND NIUBI TOO....
