But keep in mind that you can only extend the volume if there is unallocated space continuous, which means in the image below, you can extend drive F by utilizing the free space, but cannot extend drive G as the free space is beside F. But this option is available only if you have free space available. IF you find that an existing drive is running short of space, you can extend the space. Step 4: Once this is done, you will see free space available on your disk and you can create a simple volume from the step above. If you are shrinking your main OS partition, make sure you have left enough space for the drive for installing apps and updates. Here you will see the size of partition, shrink volume and size after shrinking. Step 3: Now select the space you want to free from this drive and click OK. Step 2: If you purchased a new laptop, you might not have a free space, so in order to make a free space, right click on the existing partition from which you want to free up storage and select Shrink Volume. To create a new volume from free space, right click the free space in the disk management and click New Simple Volume and create it based on your disk size. Step 1: You can create a new partition either by using the unallocated space or shrinking an already existing volume. The Disk Management tool has option to create, delete, shrink partitions in Window 11.
