I've got to help my sister (through TeamViewer) extend the C system partition with the empty D partition. The (Windows) Recovery partition is in between the C and D partitions, so Disk Management doesn't allow to extend the C partition. I tried on my Windows 11 system with Aomei Partition Assistant Pro to move the recovery partition to the end and the D partition next to the C partition. Aomei deleted the recovery partition; I'm sure I didn't do it correctly.
The recovery partition is not on my system now. To test again, I used the NUIBI free portable edition: Download NIUBI Partition Editor Product Editions | Download Center. I added a few files to the D partition. With NUIBI, I resized the D partition and created another partition, E. The partition layout was the same as in the above scenario, with the D partition (not empty) in between the C and E partitions. I successfully moved the D partition and extended the C partition with the E partition. The files in the D (moved) partition were intact.
Can anyone with a virtual machine (Windows 11/10) test moving the recovery partition and extending the C partition with NUIBI? I would appreciate it!
