Know How To Merge Two Partitions In Windows 7

If your hard drive contains multiple partitions, you can merge or combine them and create one single partition. You can do this in two ways: first, using the Disk Management Tool in Windows 7 and second, using EaseUS Partition Master. If you don’t like installing applications, you can try the built-in tool in Microsoft Windows. Click “Start,” “Control Panel,” “Performance and Maintenance,” “Administrative Tools,” and then “Computer Management.”

In Computer Management window, under “Storage” section, select “Disk Management.” You can also access Disk Management when you right-click “My Computer” and select “Manage.” Right-click the drive or partition you want to merge and can be deleted and select “Delete Volume” to create unallocated space on the drive.

Once the partition is deleted, right-click the drive next to the deleted volume where you want to merge the unallocated space and select “Extend Volume.” Follow the instructions in the Extend Volume Wizard. Since merging partitions using the Disk Management requires deleting a partition or two, this seems not a good idea especially if you have files in there.
