#

placid storm here ya go, 385.04 GB - Main Partition 5.59 GB - Swap

yeah it’s the separate 5.59GB here

#

oh so do I have to delete my volumes first?

#

oh ok so delete the swap to make it to an Unallocated Volume, should I go back to Windows or is it doable here in the terminal?

#

oh aight so just remove it

#

should I go back to Windows to do it?

#

aight that’s true

#

just give me a sec

#

could i just delete both of them to combine them into one volume?

#

aight imma do it now

#

alright done

#

i have to make it to a simple volume to name it

#

aight

#

#

aight

#

#

oh aight, it will not affect my Windows, right?

#

#

placid storm

the first one is where the unallocated space is located but it’s not on the Existing Partitions list

#

oh aight

#

so it will use the free space?

#

aight the one we made a while ago, am I right?

placid storm Dec 24, 2023, 7:28 PM

#

placid storm alright done

this one?

#

the partition we made?

#

oh yeah

#

I pressed Tab on the first one, it’s where the free space is located

#

what next?

#

yup, it says on the free space 400002, that’s mb right? Yeah that’s the space we made

placid storm Dec 24, 2023, 7:32 PM

#

placid storm I pressed Tab on the first one, it’s where the free space is located

#

yup that’s right

#

done

#

it will only use the free space right? It will not do anything on the other partitions?

#

oh aight

#

placid storm Dec 24, 2023, 7:35 PM

#

placid storm I pressed Tab on the first one, it’s where the free space is located

so the Existing Partitions section indicated below would remain intact? Only the Free Space which is 400002 mb would be used, right? I’m sorry, I’m really just making sure since it would be a pain in the ass to reinstall Windows

#

thanks for the clarification

#

#

of wrong screenshot

#

#

which one is recommended? I usually don’t

#

but I never really looked into it

#

oh aigh

#

#

just take your time there @placid storm

#

oh shit our power went out wtf

#

i think I’ll just do this some other time dude, it’s almost 4am here anyways
