Do you want to merge the partitions of your hard disk in Windows 10? You are in the right place. In this tutorial, I will guide you step-by-step on how to merge the partitions/drives of your hard disk in Windows 10 using the Disk Management.

The disk partition-merging in Windows is used to increase the storage capacity of a drive by combining another drive or unallocated space with it. You can create unallocated space either by Shrinking a drive or by Deleting a drive. Deleting a drive means completely deleting one drive and combine its unallocated storage with the other drive.

The Disk Management is a builtin Windows utility tool that allows you to manage and perform advanced storage tasks.
