Hi @SKT155 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

You can extend the size of the C-drive by reallocating space from another partition using Disk Management in Windows. Here's how to do it:

1. Check for Unallocated Space or Shrink Another Partition

• Press Win + X → Select Disk Management.
• Look for Unallocated Space on the SSD.
  • If available, skip to Step 3.
  • If not, shrink another partition:
    • Right-click a partition (not C:) → Select Shrink Volume.
    • Enter the amount you want to free up → Click Shrink.

 

2. Backup Important Data

• Before resizing, back up files to avoid data loss.

 

3. Extend C: Drive Using Disk Management

• Right-click C: Drive → Choose Extend Volume.
• Select available unallocated space → Click Next → Finish.

 

4.  Consider Upgrading SSD (If Needed)

• If storage is insufficient, upgrading to a larger SSD could be a long-term solution.

Let me know if you're stuck at any step!
