I have some unallocated space before my Windows 7 partition.

Unallocated space before Windows 7 partition

Can I move the Windows 7 partition so that the free space is after it instead than before it, and then extend the partition to use all of the currently unallocated space?

Best Answer

Yes you can, however, I doubt that you can using the default disk management tool.

The easiest thing you can do is to load up Gparted live cd (free) and then you should be able to move and extend the partition with no problem.
