Resize Dynamic Disk in Disk Management


Step 1. Right-click the Windows Start menu and choose Disk Management.
Step 2. Select the volume you want to resize and right-click, choose Extend Volume feature or Shrink Volume feature to resize dynamic disk. For example, if you want to extend dynamic disk, you may choose Extend Volume. Then click Next.
Step 3. Type the volume size that you want to extend in MB. Then click Next.
Step 4. Click Finish and you will find the dynamic volume has been resized.
However, you will only find the Extend Volume feature and Shrink Volume feature are available only in simple volume and spanned volume, as Disk Management can only extend or shrink simple volume and spanned volume. So, Disk Management is not our best choice anyway if we want to extend a mirrored volume, striped volume, or RAID 5 volume.
To break the limitation of Disk Management and shrink or extend dynamic disks in a simple and convenient way, here I will recommend you a third party software to resize dynamic disk: MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Step 1. Mount EFI Partition on Windows

In order to be able to access the macOS EFI partition on Windows we first need to mount it. There are a couple ways to mount an EFI partition, in my opinion the simplest way is to give it a drive letter.

Disk
  1. Install MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition
  2. Open MiniTool Partition Wizard
  3. Right-Click the EFI partition and click Change Letter
  4. Select an unused drive letter (I picked Z:)
  5. Click Apply
  6. Apply pending Changes? : Yes
  7. Click OK

The EFI partition will not be mounted as you can see in Windows Exporer, but you wont have permission to access or edit it just yet.

Step 2. Access & Edit EFI partition on Windows

In order to open the EFI partition on Windows and be able to make changes to it’s contents we are going to use a third party program called Explorer++

  1. Download Explorer++
  2. Unzip explorer++.zip by right-clicking the zip file and selecting Extract All… and click Extract
  3. Open the now unzipped explorer++ folder
  4. Right-Click Explorer++ and select Run as administrator
  5. You should now see your EFI folder which you can open and make changes too through the Explorer++ program.

Done.
