My laptop has filled its C drive, 48.5 Gig of 50 Gig.
There is loads of unallocated space but I can't extend the drive, it's faded out. If I could that would be the simple answer.
I have other partitions to store most other things, such as XL / Word files, photo's / videos, music. There should be v little of my working data within the 'C'.
Looking at the properties of the 'stuff' within the 'C' It only adds up to less than 32Gig, 22 of that is Windows (and that's taking the larger of size or size on disc).
So I wonder if it is possible to extend.
And where the hidden 16.5Gig might be.
I can always reformat the 'C', but I always lose a lot of time to that. The most important stuff will be unaffected in the other partitions of course.
All thoughts appreciated.
