Disk management problem - Trying to dual-boot...

[iainberryman]

Hello guys,

I'm trying to dual boot Windows 10 on my Surface Pro 3 i5 128GB but have a problem.

I have 52GB free on C: and want to make a 25GB partition but when I try and shrink the volume, it says I can only make a partition of 6534MB.

If anyone can help and offer some advice I'd be really grateful. I really don't want to reinstall windows or upgrade my 8.1 yet.

Thanks,
Iain.
