    Hi,

    Please make sure there is no partition between the original partition and free space.

    Only when “unallocated disk space” is available “extend” option is highlighted or available.
    Partition extending feature only works with contiguous space on the right side of the partition you would like to extend.

    Best Regards,

    In order to do natively the disk space must be adjacent to existing space.

    Hi @BurairAbbas-2320 ,

    If all the above steps didn't help, try diskpart

    Step 1. Open Run dialogue, input diskpart and click OK.
    Step 2. Run commands as follows:

    list disk
    select disk n (n refers to the number of the disk that holds C drive)
    list partition
    select partition m (m is the number of C drive)
    extend size= x (x is the size in MB you want to add to the system partition)

    Please mark as "Accept the answer" if the above steps helps you. Others with similar issues can also follow the solution as per your suggestion

    Regards,

    Manu
