Reasons and solutions why D drive cannot be expanded in win11 system

Some users feel that their d drive space is not enough and want to expand the d drive space. However, during the operation, they find that their win11d drive cannot be expanded and the extended volume is gray. In fact, this may be due to insufficient disk space. Caused by this, let’s take a look at the solutions below.

Why the win11d disk cannot be expanded:

1. Insufficient space

1. First of all, to extend the d disk, you need to ensure that your disk has "Available Space" as shown.

2. If there is no available space like this, then naturally there is no way to expand.

3. If you want to expand the d drive at this time, you can find other disks, right-click and select "Compress Volume"

4. Enter the space you want to expand for compression, and then click "OK" to get the available space.

2. The disks are not adjacent

1. To expand a disk, the available space must be in adjacent locations.

2. As shown in the figure below, the available space is adjacent to the "E drive", so the D drive cannot be expanded at this time, and only the E drive can be expanded.

3. If we want to expand the d drive at this time, we can only back up the e drive files first, then right-click the e drive and "Delete Volume"

4. After deletion, we can obtain the available space adjacent to the d drive.
