Any way to have Macrium restore to a larger capacity drive?

Have you tried MiniTools Partition Wizard? MiniTool Partition Wizard | Best partition magic alternative for Windows PC and Server

Yes, that is an easy way. just move/resize all the way to the right. Then expand C: while you're in there. Apply both changes, and MiniTool will update everything.

Other way is on restore, drag all the partitions down to C:, left to right, except the Recovery. Drag it all the way to the right. Restore. Then expand C:. MiniTool is probably easier and quicker since you've already done the restore.

EDIT: Just thinking....it may not let that happen while the OS is open. Unless you use the bootable MiniTool (available on Kyhi's Recovery).

If it doesn't resize with Windows running it should do it after a restart. It's been awhile since I resized a partition so I don't remember if a restart was necessary.

But the answer to Fireberd, who got totally bored and left is , yes, he can. One way or the other. :)

I have that program (and have used it before).
However, the unused partition is at the end. See screenshot.
This is how the drive ended up doing a restore from a Macrium disc image.

That's fine. Just grab it and drag it all the way to the right. Each one, starting with the 2GB, then the 454GB next to it, then the other 454GB. (why there are 2 is another thread....) Like this example:

Then apply.

Minitool is very clever. If doing iOS that impact C drive, it boots into a special dos like environment automatically, and back when finished. No need to use other winpe tools.

In OPs case, I would just delete the last three partitions as none are of real use.
