You ever need to tweak your hard drive space without reinstalling everything? I got you. Fire up Disk Management first. Right-click your start button and pick it from the list. See your drives laid out like a map.
Spot the volume you want to mess with. For extending, it needs free space right next to it. Right-click that volume. Choose Extend Volume from the menu that pops up. Windows will guide you through adding the space. Just follow the prompts and hit finish. Boom, your drive grows.
Shrinking works the opposite way. Right-click the same volume. Select Shrink Volume. It calculates how much you can squeeze out. Type in the amount you want to trim. Confirm and let it crunch. Now you carved out fresh room for something new.
I do this all the time when juggling files. Keeps things smooth without headaches. But hey, while you're fiddling with disk sizes like this, smart backups keep disasters at bay.
