Recovering extra space on cloned hard drive

[OldGunney]

I recently cloned my main C: drive to put data on a faster SSD. The main C: hard drive with op system had only 80 gig and the SSD had 120 gig.

After cloning with the Paragon Hard Drive program I ended up with only 80 gig on the SSD which is now my operation system hard drive.

I am now getting alerts from microsoft that the drive has insufficent space now. Just 2 gig remains. Any way I can open up the remaining partition and allow it to be used?

Perhaps at the management disk panel, maybe the unused space still there, and you need to expand it

Win+R then diskmgmt.msc

On the "C" drive, the unallocated space at the right side of the disk, right click and the "extend volume"

Thanks Shiryu. That seems to have worked! I now have 45 gig available.

We used that cloning software alot here at my office, talking bout 400 to 500 pc, and sounds familiar when i read it
