Are you still troubled by the problem how to extend system partition size? Maybe, you have ever thought about reinstalling operating system and then recreating a new system partition with larger size. Although this method can extend system partition size, the extended partition space is got by deleting another partition. After we delete the partition, all data stored on this partition will be lost. Therefore, extending system partition size by reinstalling operating system is not a good method. Well, how to extend system partition size without data loss? Next, I will tell you the answer.

Partition unallocated space
To extend system partition size, there must have unallocated space adjacent to the system partition. If not, we need to partition a part of unused space from the partition adjacent to the system partition, and then use this unallocated space to extend system partition size with the function of "Move/Resize". Operations are as follows:
Click the partition adjacent to the system partition. Here, we select D partition. Then, click "Move/Resize" button.
Then, drag the left triangle rightwards to shrink this partition, and the shrunk space will become unallocated space. Next, click "OK" to go back to the main interface.
