It's quite easy but to tell you its possible to decrease the volume size of a drive but not increase it without losing data. To decrease your C drive volume size, follow these steps:
Right Click on my computer >Manage > Select Disk Management(under storage on left hand side) > Right Click on C drive > Click shrink volume. Shrink the volume as much you want.
However, Windows 7 Disk Management allows you resize partition, whereas its limitations will let you down and can not resize partitions to be desired. Third party tool is available and helpful, for your question, I recommend you Aomei Partition Assistant, which was given several editions to solve various partition problems on different operating systems. Based on your own situation, free partition manager
or pro partition manager both helpful for you to resize and move partition.
Windows already comes with a great tool for disc cloning, Robocopy.
To use it, start the command prompt.
Here is an example to clone disc M to N:
cmd> robocopy.exe /r:2 /w:1 /dcopy:t /mir /v /log:mn.txt m: n:
Explanation:
/R:n : Number of Retries on failed copies - default is 1 million.
/W:n : Wait time between retries - default is 30 seconds.
/DCOPY:T : Copy Directory Timestamps.
/E : Copy Subfolders, including Empty Subfolders.
/V : Produce Verbose output log, showing skipped files.
/MIR is an option to ROBOCOPY where you mirror a directory tree with all the subfolders including the empty directories and you purge files and folders on the destination server that no longer exists in source.
It will also copy the exact dates of files and directories,but you can adjust it if you want.
You can also make a shortcut to this command on your desktop. Then you can start your backup whenever you want to.
