    I have a 500 GB hard drive was divided into only two partitions as follow

    C: 487 GB for Win. 7 and D: 13 GB for the recovery

    i wanted to install Win. 8, so i shredded 30 GB out of the C : Volume but now its not enough after i installed some applications on Win. 8

    How can I increase the the Win. 8 partition now, as i have enough space on the Win. 7 partition

    and should i do this while using Win. 7 or Win. 8??

    Should be able to shrink one and expand the other probably from the newer OS. Might ask them here.

    Windows built-in disk managament tool can only shrink windows 7 volume, it nllocatcannot add the ued space to winodws 8 partition. In this scenario , you have to use third party partition software to help you allocate free space from windows 7 partition to windows 8 partition, such as AOMEI Partition Assistant ,etc.
