Although DiskPart can do many things regarding partition configuration and management, one may look for a free diskpart command line alternative for the disadvantages of diskpart listed below.
Only when there is adjacent unallocated space to its right of a partition, can you extend a simple volume.
You can only shrink a partition from its right side, which means you need to delete a partition to get unallocated space if you want to extend C: drive.
The system partition cannot be extended with diskpart.exe unless you boot from a bootable disk to run the diskpart command.
Inappropriate operations may cause data loss and it is impossible to undo any operations, so make sure that you backup files and programs which are important, before you make any moves with diskpart.
Actually things would be much easier if you use third party software to resize partition.
