Hello! Your setup looks good, but it seems you might have under-allocated space initially. You can try extending the volume manually through the disk management tool, or create a larger partition to accommodate Windows 7. If that doesn’t work, you may need to remove the existing partition and start fresh with a bigger one.

Start by trimming the Windows 10 partition, then grow the Windows 7 partition to cover the gap. Be aware that Windows sometimes stores hidden or fixed files that can block further reduction. Keep in mind not to remove or shrink the boot partition.

Thanks for the guidance! This, combined with EAUS (a few free tools I discovered), successfully rearranged the files. It was quite simple overall.
