Janis Skaris · Apr 17, 2015

Hello, i've got free space about 150 gb and I want add it to my C: Drive wich is my local disk. How can I do this?

Freespace you cannot add to anything. You need 'unallocated space'. Right click on that freespace and delete partition. Then do what was said above.

If you right click the C:\ partition, can you not use the native "Extend Partition Wizard" to extend it into the free space?
I would expect it to indicate that, that space is "Unallocated"?

While in disk management click on C drive and then add it back to the drive.

But then, I would not recommend a single partition of 500GB for the system drive. Unless you have a specific requirement for it I would allocate no more than 100GB to drive C and create a second partition for data storage.

For such operations (disk management) I always use the Free EaseUS Partition Master.
Never had any problems with it !

And before you do anything ensure that all your data is backed up and you have the means to run a full recovery install in case you lose or corrupt your operating system.
