Hmm, does this go in Memory and Storage? or Windows? or OSs? Not sure.
I'm technically savvy but not deeply trained. This gets me by in most situations mechanically, but sometimes I run into software issues. This is one of them.
A friend of mine wanted to upgrade his SSD from 128GB to 256GB while maintaining the drive's contents. No problem, easy enough. External enclosure for the new drive, Macrium, and voila. The issue is that there is now 128GB of unallocated space on the new drive that is not immediately to the right of the C: volume.
How do I get that unallocated space to join with the C: volume as an extension? The option to extend is greyed out, which I understand is due to the issue mentioned above.
Can I boot from the old drive and solve my problem somehow? I did try this but got an error about the partition type and potentially removing this boot ability of the C: partition.
