Problem

I have some unallocated space before my Windows 7 partition. Can I move the Windows 7 partition so that the free space is after it instead than before it, and then extend the partition to use all of the currently unallocated space?

Fix for: Extend Windows 7 partition to use free space before it

Low Risk

Yes you can, however, I doubt that you can using the default disk management tool. The easiest thing you can do is to load up Gparted live cd (free) and then you should be able to move and extend the partition with no problem.
