How can I increase the size of partitioned 'Recovery' drive in Windows 8?

I need to update my windows 8 to 8.1 in order to upgrade to Windows 10. The "recovery" partitioned D drive doesn't have enough space for the upgrade. Is there a FREE way to increase space partitioned drive?

UPDATE: I GOT IT!

I have shrunk the drive C to unallocated space of 10 GB and used free software EaseUS to increase the size of the disk D (I couldn't increase using windows).

If your configuration is set with the partitions in a certain order or Setup, it can be moved using this tool, so you should come back to something like ZigZag3143 (Windows devices & for IT Pro MS - MVP) suggested.  Or another option is to save what concerns you, format the drive and reinstall everything fresh (it may be too much for you, but it is an option).

    Your D drive is the configuration of your Partition recovery by the manufacturer of your computer.
    It is used to restore your system in case it crashes.
    It is not to be touched, adds anything in or remove anything from him.
    The recovery Partition is usually around 10 GB. That's all he needs to store the files for recovery.

    You can't do this with the tools built into Windows XP, but you can use third-party disk partitioning tools. Although these tools are generally safe, it is always a good idea to make backups before using an any of them.

    Here are a few options in alphabetical order:

    Acronis Disk Director ($50)
    EASEUS Partition Manager free (free)
    O & O Partition Manager 3 ($50)

    Default menu bars are too small. How can I increase the font size on the menu at least 9 points bars?

    I'm guessing that you have a high res monitor and your DW interface is almost too small to read?

    Currently, you cannot edit under your operating system, which modifies it for anything that isn't a great solution obviously.

    The interface of small font size is a problem known to Adobe and they have assured us that they are trying to raise the DW in high resolution, but there is no ETA on when we will see the fix.

    quest for clear code wrote:

    Choose 'new style inline' in the target rule drop. That the new etc color/size/placement of Brown.

    Using the styles inline is a very bad habit, except in rare circumstances, such as the creation of an HTML email. Inline styles added the rule of style directly in the HTML, you will have to change every single instance if you ever want to change the way the text appears.

    It is best to select the text and make sure that the rule field target poster . Give a class name when you are prompted to the rule. You can then use the menu rule target or a category to apply the same style to any text. Changing the properties of the rule in one place then affects all of the text that uses the same class.

  • How can I increase the size of my partition on the C drive?

    Hello

    By "tons" of space on your partition D:, what size does this mean?

    D: partition, if 5-15GBs is normally the recovery partition, except on a few machines, and should not be bothered with.

    Acer for example on the previous models used D: as a data partition, which is OK to change.

    To extend C: into the space where D: is currently > back up data on D: > and then delete D: > D: becomes now allocated space > extend C: into the space where was D:.

    Here is a tutorial on how to do it:

    I would like to be able to increase the size of the text on the home page. I don't know how to do this. Thank you

    Hold down the CTRL key and use your mouse wheel. Scroll up will increase the font size, down will decrease. Alternatively, you can use the main menu and click on view-> Zoom to set the zoom level. If you do not have your main menu enabled in Firefox 4, you can turn it on by selecting the Firefox menu at the top left of your window of Firefox, then Options and check "menu bar".
