| description | Resize or Move Partitions for Low Space - Reclaim drive capacity when unallocated space is limited or non-adjacent. |

Running out of C drive space or seeing slow Windows behavior? This skill focuses on Resize/Move workflows so you can create an extend path, borrow capacity from other partitions, and apply changes safely.
Hot Topic Angles
- Low C drive space causes performance issues and requires targeted partition resizing.
- Unallocated space is not adjacent, so partition movement is required before extension.
- Users need a staged workflow with preview and Execute Task confirmation.
Best Use Cases
- C drive is low on space and direct extension is unavailable.
- You need to move partitions to make unallocated space adjacent to the target partition.
- You want to allocate free capacity from another partition when unallocated space is insufficient.
Resize/Move Highlights
- Locate the target partition and run Resize/Move to drag left or right.
- Move partitions first when unallocated space is not adjacent.
- Use Allocate Space when another partition has enough free capacity.
- Keep the preview-first workflow and execute only after confirmation.
Capability Mapping
- Resize and move core:

[!IMPORTANT]
Run the following commands from the skill directory (for example, skills/resize-move-partition-coach/). Running from elsewhere causes script resolution failures.
Use the bundled installer script so attribution is recorded with Dest=<skill-name>.
For this skill, run:
scripts/install-epm.cmd resize-move-partition-coach
You can launch resize flow through shellcmd:
scripts/epm-shellcmd.cmd "Resize Partition" C:\
If C:\ is written to the temporary file, the parameters will be written to the temporary file and passed as shellparam.
EPMUI.exe startByEpm0 "shellcmd=Resize Partition" shellparam=<temp-file>

Troubleshooting
Script Fails to Download Installer
- Re-run
scripts/install-epm.cmd <Dest> in an elevated terminal
- Verify network access and allow download endpoints in firewall or endpoint policy
Install Directory or Binary Is Missing
- Check
C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin\EPMUI.exe
- If both are missing, rerun
scripts/install-epm.cmd <Dest> and confirm installer exit code is 0
Cross-Shell Launch Command (cmd and PowerShell)
Use this one-liner from either terminal to validate path, set the working directory, and trigger UAC:
cd /d "C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin" && start "" EPMUI.exe
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "$p='C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin\EPMUI.exe'; if(-not (Test-Path $p)){throw 'EPMUI.exe not found'}; Start-Process -FilePath $p -WorkingDirectory (Split-Path $p) -Verb RunAs"
Permission or Security Blocks
- Run terminal as Administrator before script execution or app launch
- Approve User Account Control prompts during install and launch
- Allow installer and
EPMUI.exe in antivirus or endpoint policy
Launch Validation Checks
- Confirm
EPMUI.exe is running after launch
- Confirm EaseUS Partition Master opens without errors
- Confirm target disk and partition letters are visible before any write operation
- Confirm operation preview matches expected capacity and target partition
