When you want to resize a partition, you have a choice of how your disk space is used. Since a basic partition occupies a single region on a single basic volume, when you resize a basic partition, you can only use the unallocated space that is adjoining the volume. Although you can move available disk space to be adjacent if required,. You can also choose to convert the disk to dynamic and then use unallocated space from all dynamic disks on the computers. In this case, the volume will become a simple or spanned volume.
