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: ResizePartition, SmartSpaceAdjustment
• Layout and validation: OpenPartitionLayoutEditor

[!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
