Extend volume in Disk Management, greyed out

  1. Previously, I deleted the New Volume (D:) using Delete Volume, in Disk Management. Then I restarted the PC. Unallocated space of 488.28 GB was visible, but Extend Volume option was greyed out after right-clicking on OS (C:).
  2. In Control Panel\System and Security\BitLocker Drive Encryption, I clicked Turn BitLocker off. After decryption was completed, I again restarted the PC.
  3. The Extend Volume option is still greyed out for OS (C:). I need to extend it using the Unallocated 488.28 GB.

    Hi Yuvraj

    Rest assured, AOMEI will just extend the drive, it will not modify your personal files

    Will using AOMEI Partition Assistant delete/modify any file or temporary data on OS (C:) while extending? I just want my existing files and temporary data on OS (C:), to remain as it is, and the capacity to increase from 440 GB to 928.28 GB.

    Hi Yuvraj

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Windows has very limited partitioning capability, it can only extend into a space that is directly to the right of the partition being extended.

    You will need to use a 3rd party partitioning tool like the free AOMEI Partition Assistant to extend you C drive.
