Windows 10: Can I merge Disk 0 and Disk 1?

I see in disk management that I have 2 disks and 1 is mush larger than the other and has unallocated space:Is there a way to merge disk 0 and disk 1?

:)

 

switch disk numbers: I want Disk 0 to be Disk 1 and Disk 1 to be Disk 0

Hi, My computer contained a normal HDD hard drive. I recently upgraded to a SSD. The original HDD is Disk 0 and the new SSD is Disk 1. The windows OS is on Disk 1. I want to dual boot my system with Windows and Ubuntu with both OS being on the SSD. Since
the SSD is Disk 1 the Ubuntu install goes directly to Disk 0 because Disk 0 is first on the list. How can I switch the two Disks so my SSD drive is Disk 0? Thanks.

 

How to combine disk 1 and disk 0? Or how take the volume from disk 1 to disk 0?

HI

My solution above deal with your unallocated space

You cannot merge disk 0 and disk 1 because they are a physcially different hard disk

 

How to merge 2 disks into 1?

You need to check to see if it is one disk partitioned into two partitions or two physical discs firstly (a 1TB drive should show at about 932GB)

Go to Disk Management (Windows + X Kets and choose Disk Management from the resulting menu)

Are both marked as being on Disk 0 - look at the screenshot below, one is disc 0 the other is disc 1, this means I have two hard drives, not two partitions





If both are on the same disc, you can merge the partitions, but not with Windows, or better yet do as Lawrence suggests and create a new partition on the drive and merge into that.

If they are showing as different discs you cannot merge or make more space . . .

Try the free AOMEI Partition Assistant, it is in my opinion the most powerful and easy to use free software for this task -
