Disk Management in Windows 8-Decrease the space used by primary partitions and logical drives


You can decrease the space that is used by primary partitions and logical drives by shrinking them into adjacent, contiguous space on the same hard disk drive.
For example, if you discover that you need an additional partition, but you do not have additional disks, you can shrink the existing partition from the end of the volume to create new unallocated space that can then be used for a new partition.

Open Control Panel -> System and Security -> Administrative Tools
