Extending the size of my bootcamp partition...

[MathBunny123]

Hello! I currently have a bootcamp partition of 40GB, and I installed 1 game and *gulp* I have 2GB left. AHHHHHHHH!!!!

So I saved up some space on my SSD, and now I want to dedicate 40GB more. How would I extend the partition of the bootcamp partition?

Delete the partition and start over.

I'm going to lose all of that time installing drivers, installing Windows and decaying my SSD!

This is why you alwaysssss have at least 80-100GB on your BootCamp Partition

Not even 128GB is enough for games. Just Crysis 3, Skyrim with mods, and GTA IV installed and I only have 30GB free.

An alternative is running games off an external drive instead. A Thunderbolt based SSD should do the trick nicely.

Games take up so much space! I wish I just had a 1TB drive to place 500GB just for Windows...and games... *sniff
