I have now installed in my PC an old 1TB hard drive from my old laptop as a 2nd memory. Now I see 2 big volumes here:
-OS (D. With 372GB and all the programs I have, etc. And
-Data (E. With 537GB and nothing, so empty.
Can I somehow transfer this empty volume to D: so I have the remaining 537 GB there?
Go to Disk Management. Right-click allows this if there are no empty clusters in between.
So click on "delete volume"? Do I then have the full ~ 930GB on D:?
If it is the same disk already
So, the volume is deleted now. Now I have to assign it again and then the assistant opens to it. Or should I on D: right-click and add something if that works?
And yes, it's one that I'm talking about. The other one is irrelevant now.
If I remember correctly, it goes like this. "merge" or "add" it said. Nachhar it is "one". Maybe you still want to give a name, that's even there, if I'm not mistaken.
Okay managed, went over "expand volume".
Congratulations, well done!
You can do all this in the disk management of Windows.
But I prefer the program "Minitool Partition Wizard" (you can download it for free from chip.de, just search for it on the page).
So you can do anything with your partitions: delete, add new ones, resize, change position, …
And I find it much easier and more user-friendly than the disk management. But as Mauritan already describes it, it also works without its own program.
I hope this helps.
