Windows 11 Move partition to right side

crixusx2 · May 28, 2025

Hello,

Someone Can I help me to know if is possible move the NTFS partition with the Disk C alllocated to right side?

I can add space to Disk C moving unallocated space between partitions, but I would like know If I can move directly the Disk C to bottom of the right side.

Thanks.

Welcome.

I made a post and removed it after noticing your image.

That’s a long run of Diskpart commands to move the unallocated space next to C.
I don’t like nominating members but I believe I have seen @zbook post a succession of diskpart commands for someone else with a similar issue. I can’t find where I seen it.
It may have been @SIW2

I think you can do this with the free version of Minitool Partition Wizard.

I use that. But I read somewhere that AOMEI (Free) does a better job when partitions are not adjacent. I have never been game to try it with either.

Apparently, the free version of AOMEI Partition Assistant allows the moving of partitions. I have the paid version and it isn't very hard to do.
See tutorial below.

Your partition scheme is a mess. It will take a lot of shuffling to get it corrected. It should look like this attached screenshot if you have only one disk.
I know what "I" would do. I would image my drive using imaging software. I would then clean install windows, deleting all partitions and installing on the unallocated space. This creates all partitions on the drive correctly and utilizes all the space. I would then restore just the C drive from the backup using the backup software's recovery media.

Whatever you do though, BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR DATA FIRST.

That is a good point and is mentioned in the AOMEI tutorial as well.

Marcus Vinicus · May 28, 2025

Also, before playing with this, it is very important to have a full back up.

I have changed my mind and want to change the advice I gave. While there are a number of ways to deal with this, depending on this user's skill level, we should be very careful not to lead him astray. Messing with partitions at any time can be a dangerous thing to do. His system is working even though his partition scheme is far from kosher., He's got a tiny drive..Gambling with his partitions to gain only 10gb of space makes no sense to me. To put it bluntly @crixusx2 you need a larger drive. Just my opinion.

I also seen that and I actually believe AOMEI seems to be a much easier system to achieve this. However I use MiniTools and also, have never had to merge unallocated space.

Does not matter which partition is the efi as long as the boot loader knows which partition it is on.
It is common and preferred for the layout to be like you posted but not required.
The first partition which in this case is the MSR should not have a label letter.

Thanks everyone for your help.

I think I missed some information from the start.

The problem was caused by various processes I performed.

The Windows 11 operating system is a virtual machine, so I had to run the MBR2GPT.exe command to run the virtual machine in UEFI mode to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

That partition table is the result of running the command and then upgrading. Adding 10GB is just a requirement, since being virtual, I can add more space if necessary.

The other problem is that I can't delete the requests that are in the middle of the C drive and the unallocated space.

Also I have to change to UEFI mode to add TPM to upgrade to Windows 11

OMG I need to learn how to read. Sorry. All deleted.

I’m guessing they meant “Recovery”
