How to Merge Partitions on Windows Server 2019

Merging partitions on Windows Server 2019 can help consolidate multiple partitions into a single one, improving disk management and usage. While the process might seem complex, it becomes straightforward with the right tools and methods.

Here’s a breakdown of how you can approach partition merging using built-in tools or third-party software. Each method has its own pros and cons, so understanding these will help you choose the right approach for your needs.

Can I Merge Partitions Using Disk Management?

If you're familiar with Windows tools, Disk Management is a common choice for partition management tasks such as merging or extending partitions. However, it comes with significant limitations.

Steps to Merge Partitions Using Disk Management:

1. Open Disk Management by pressing Windows + X and selecting Disk Management.
2. Back up all data from the smaller partition (e.g., D:) as the process will delete its content.
3. Delete the smaller partition to make its space unallocated. To do this, right-click on the smaller partition and select Delete Volume.
4. Right-click the remaining larger partition (e.g., C:) and select Extend Volume.
5. Follow the wizard to extend the partition using the unallocated space.

While this method works, here are some important considerations:

• Data Loss: The smaller partition must be deleted, so backing up is essential.
• Complexity: For server environments, managing partitions can become more complicated.
• Limited Functionality: Disk Management cannot merge non-adjacent partitions.

For more seamless and efficient partition merging on servers, consider professional tools specifically designed for this task.
