If the Extend Volume button in Disk Management is inactive, it could be due to a number of reasons. Here are a few solutions you can try:
- Check if unallocated space is adjacent to the partition you want to extend: The Unallocated space should be adjacent to the partition you want to extend. To check this, right-click on the partition you want to extend and select "Extend Volume". If it is not adjacent, you will need to move it using a third-party tool like EaseUS Partition Master.
- Ensure that the partition is formatted correctly: If the partition is not formatted properly, you may not be able to extend it. Right-click on the partition and select "Format".
- Check if the file system is supported: Not all file systems are supported for extending. The most common ones include NTFS and RAW. If the partition is in a different file system, you may need to convert it using a third-party tool like EaseUS Partition Master.
- Check if the partition is a dynamic volume: Basic volumes cannot be extended, and only dynamic volumes can be extended. To check this, right-click on the partition and select "Properties". If it is a basic volume, you will need to convert it using a third-party tool like EaseUS Partition Master.
- Ensure that there is enough free space: There must be enough free space on the disk to extend the partition. To verify this, right-click on the disk and select "Properties". If there is not enough space, try deleting unnecessary files or moving them to an external drive.
If none of the above solutions work, you may need to use a third-party partitioning software like EaseUS Partition Master to extend the partition. It is always recommended to back up your data before making any changes to your partitions.
