Simply say, the reason why you need to redistribute disk space in Windows 10 is that there is not enough free space on disk partition, especially system partition. The partition on which Windows 10 OS is installed is usually called system partition. Usually, Windows users like to install operating system on C drive, so C drive is also known system partition. Probably, you only allocated little free space to C drive when installing a hard drive on your computer. Or the system partition gets full day by day since you have installed too many programs on it.
