Extend Partition is to expand partition size. Maybe users have occasionally encountered such situation that when you were downloading a biggish file data, the system displays "Low Disk Space". In this situation, many friends may reselect partition with larger free space to store files. However, have you thought about how to solve this problem if free space in every single partition is not enough to store this file? The the majority of users may consider cutting these partition data, and then storing it in other partitions. It’s really not unwise because moving data may give rise to much inconvenience in later use and costs too much time. It is believed that many users are unwilling to waste time moving data. Here, another better method to extend partition is recommended by moving free space all other partitions into a target partition so that we can gain enough space to store files data to be downloaded. However, we should employ professional partition magic. With regard to partition magic, I regard MiniTool Partition Wizard as best choice.
