    Hi all,
    Anyone know how to move space from partition D to partition C on disk 0? The windows utility does free up space from D but only makes it available to the Healthy recovery partition to the right of D. Annoying!

    First of all, do you have an entire backup of all your data? Messing with partitions is tricky and carries a much higher risk of data loss than other operations. You should be prepared for the possibility of a complete data loss (of course, you should always be prepared for that, but even moreso in this case).

    With that said, Partition Wizard can do what you want: https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

    If you try to resize the D partition, it will move the end marker.
    For C to be extended, you would need to delete D completely, then resize C as needed, and then re-create D.

    Thanks all.
    So a backup you say, hmmmm, there's a throwback! Will get on it.
