Diskpart command to resize partition

Diskpart command is a Windows built-in command to disk management tool. It works on both Windows desktop and server. However it works on the conditions that there is unallocated space next to the partition you want to resize and it should be NTFS partition and non system partition. You may delete some partition to make unallocated space. And then extend the partition. This article shows step by step instruction to extend partition with Diskpart command. However as I said earlier, diskpart command cannot work with boot partition. To extend server boot partition, you need to use a third party partition software.

Windows 64-bit advantages over 32-bit

Windows 64-bit processing offers a number of advantages over 32-bit, including:

The ability to address more memory. With 32-bit hardware and software RAM, capacity tops out at 4GB, unless users implement workarounds. A few years ago, this was huge, but with today's super-scalable databases and other heavy-duty computing needs, 4GB just scratches the surface for many.

Faster computational ability. 64-bit processors with 64-bit operating systems can process more data per clock cycle than their 32-bit counterparts, making 64-bit systems ideal for research or processor-intensive applications.

64-bit computing on the x64/x86 architecture can bring UNIX-like performance to the Windows crowd at a cost that is much less than UNIX—without the expensive additional skill set.
