Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Sure you can. You just need some type of third party software that supports partition resizing. Partition Magic (formerly powerquest, now symantec) is probably the most highly recommended. While it's always recommended to backup, I've done this several times without issue. There are some freeware apps like this one, that will more than likely be OK, but they're definitley more risky. Perhaps someone else can recommend a freeware app they've had personal epxerience with.

Right, it resizes both partitions. So if you have 20 on one and 80 on the other, you could make it 40/60 assuming you have that much free space on the other. This is by no means though 100% safe, and it is always possible that it could go wrong. You do run the risk of loosing both, so make sure you have a backup. It can sometimes take over an hour for a move like this as well, depending on your partition sizes.
For me that's one of the best things about this forum!
