I just installed Windows 11 on my Steam Deck and allocated some space from the internal SSD. Now, I'm starting to worry that the partition size is too small. I've heard that to extend a partition, they need to be next to each other, but it looks like the Windows Reserved Partition is in the way. Can someone guide me through how to bypass this issue and expand my storage for Windows?

Before making any changes, it's crucial to back up your data. You can use disk management tools in Windows to help, but if the partitions are separated, you might need third-party software to resize them. Have you considered reformatting and reallocating the partitions instead? Just be cautious; this can lead to data loss if not done correctly.

I think reformatting might be a drastic step just to resize. If the Windows Reserved Partition is blocking the way, using a partition management tool could be the safe way to go. There are several user-friendly options available online that can help you merge or resize partitions without losing data.
