Most computer users, I believe, are not likely to perform operations to system partition, because system partition stores a large number of system files and supporting files. Once these important files are lost by accident when we manage system partition, our operating system may crash and some important data may be lost. I believe nobody is willing to see this condition. However, we have to resize system partition sometimes. Well then, is there a way to extend system partition without influencing data? Yes, of course. In fact, Windows 7 built-in disk management tool can help us extend Windows 7 system partition without damaging data.
Extend Windows 7 system partition with system built-in disk management tool
Users who know Windows 7 built-in disk management tool know this newly released tool introduces the function of shrinking partition, extending partition and other commonly used partition management functions. To know these new functions, we should follow these steps: Start-Computer-Computer Management-Disk Management.
The above picture is the screenshot of this disk management tool. It shows us all partition conditions. After we right click Windows 7 system partition, there will appear a shortcut menu which shows all partition management functions of this disk management tool.
Among these partition management functions, we can see "Extend Volume…" function button clearly. At this time, some people may ask why this function is not activated. The reason is that there is no unallocated space adjacent to Windows 7 system partition. Although there is unallocated space on the hard disk, it still can not be used to extend Windows 7 system partition as long as it is nonadjacent to the system partition. Therefore, the function "Extend Volume…" is not activated, and we can not extend Windows 7 system partition successfully. Actually, to solve this problem, we can seek for better solutions. For example, the third party partition magic is a good choice. As the partition we operate is system partition which requires extremely high safety, I suggest MiniTool Partition Wizard, professional partition magic with excellent data protection.
Extend Windows 7 system partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard
To use this professional partition magic, we must own it first. If we do not have, we can download it from its official website http://www.partitionwizard.com/. Next, run it, and we can see the following main interface:
The above interface shows us all partition condition. From Windows 7 built-in disk management tool, we have seen there is an unallocated space nonadjacent to the system partition, so we should move this unallocated space to the place neighboring to the system partition. At this time, select the partition located between Windows 7 system partition and the unallocated space (here, the desired partition is Partition F:), and then click "Move/Resize" button, as the following interface shows:
After clicking "Move/Resize" button, we enter the following interface:
In the above interface, drag the partition handle which represents partition size and partition location rightwards, and then click "OK" button. After doing this operation, Partition F: will interchange position with the unallocated space, as the following interface shows:
In the above interface, we can see F partition and the unallocated space have been interchanged, and the unallocated space is adjacent to the system partition. Now, please select Windows 7 system partition and click "Move/Resize" to extend Windows 7 system partition.
In the popup partition resizing interface, drag the right triangle rightwards, and then click "OK" to get the following interface:
From the above main interface, we can see Windows 7 system partition has been extended, but this is just a preview. To realize real extension, we still need to click "Apply" to perform all previous operations.
Many users who have used or are using Windows 7 may feel Windows 7 system partition becomes much smaller and is often out of space. Under this situation, if there is no unallocated space adjacent to the Windows 7 system partition, we can not accomplish system partition extension. However, from the above demonstration, we can see MiniTool Partition Wizard, the powerful and professional partition magic, can help us create conditions for extending Windows 7 system partition and then extend Windows 7 system partition safely and quickly. If you want to extend Windows 7 system partition, please hurry to download this partition magic and try it.
