Why resize a partition on Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows XP

The reason why to have a Windows 7/8/XP partition manager to manage the disk including:

  • When most people use Windows system like Windows 8/7/XP and if they want to upgrade Windows system, they have to extend C drive. The reason is that the new Windows system requires much more space than original Windows XP, 7 or 8.
  • Microsoft recommends a fresh installation of Windows OS to replace Windows XP, 7 or 8. After the Windows 7, 8 or 10 is installed, the partition might become low disk space when you try to install the other applications and program. In such condition, you also have to extend Windows 7/8/XP partition for other applications.
  • People need some time to be familiar with the new Windows system but still cannot give up their old system. Therefore, they plan to keep the old system and spare some space to create a new partition to install Windows 7/8/10 and have a dual-boot system.

The shortage of free Windows disk management to extend Windows 7/8/XP partition:

Windows built-in disk management has the ability to extend volume and shrink volume.

  1. If you try to extend partition E by using the unallocated space before partition E, you will see a warning, which means that if you continue, the basic disk will be converted to dynamic disk. If you converted the disk to dynamic, you cannot convert the dynamic disk back to basic with Windows 7 disk management, except using a third party Windows 7 partition manager.

So there must be unallocated space behind partition E if you want to extend partition E using the 'Extend Volume' feature of Windows 7 built-in disk management. If there is no unallocated space behind partition E, a third party Windows partition manager is required.
