Curiosity and Boredom overtook me and I decided to see for myself what Windows 10 was all about
on my CrossHair V Formula with Win8.1 running on a Samsung 840 Pro SSD.
I didn't get the little Microsoft invite in the taskbar so I downloaded the 64 bit version Tool from the
download page: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 , installed it and
chose "Upgrade this PC Now" from the menu. Everything seemed to be going along smoothly when I
received this error: "We couldn't update the system reserved partition". So I whipped out my Google FU
and found it was because the Data Partition was set to 100MB and I only had 1% left.
Thankfully I came across this article which pretty much mirrored my problem @ MSDN Blogs and found a Free Tool linked there in the article: MiniTool Partition Wizard Free that flawlessly reallocated space to my Data Partition. It sounded simple enough but took a bit to figure out which lead me here to posting this post.
Below is exactly what I did and I am typing this on Win10.
The "Tool" has a great Online guide, but I thought I might save you some time.
Below are 2 YouTube Videos further explaining the steps "Move/Resize Partition" and "Extend Partition" using this Tool.
(B) "Move/Resize Partition"
(D) "Extend Partition"
*Disclaimer: This is what worked for me. It may not work for you. Since this involves resizing partitions, it could wipe out all of your data. You may want to create a backup first. *Proceed at your own risk.
Best of Luck. Happy Windows 10 (if you had this issue) .c.
