    Windows7 64-Bit.

    I know other partitions can be shrunk/expanded but
    can i shrink the OS drive, drive "C" without any complications?

    thanks,

    Yes, but only to the point where any unmovable files are located.

    As always an image of the drive before shrinking is good insurance - Windows 7 can image for you.

    Thanks, PeteC.

    Thought so but new OS's can surprise you.

    Got an image already.

    Good luck - you should not need it :) I have performed the same operation in Vista without issue.
