Windows Server 2008 :Disk Management Extend Volume Grayed out

Is there a way to expand disk C without using a 3rd party tool or having to back up everything on E, delete E, then Extend and rebuild E?

Thanks. I have used easeus for my personal machine in the past to transfer data from my HD to SSD. They let you get through everything until the very end - then you have to pay to complete.   Have you used this one yourself?

The real issue is there is less than 700mb on the C drive and that is preventing some software to not run.  

Using disk clean up I found almost 4 gig mostly through cleaning up windows update.  I think that will be my short term fix.

I have tried it, but it was not successful due to HDD issue.
but support was with me till I finish.
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.

You could also gain some more space by deleting the system junk "Clean up system files" in disk clean up, unless you already have. To buy you some time. Also, you could search for huge files (.iso files etc.,) and move them off the drive. 1.JPG

The answer to my question is it can't be done as posted by MAS. I will need to use a 3rd party tool

Thank you!
