Is your current C: drive taking up 100% of your HDD capacity? Then you need to upgrade to a larger HDD, and clone your data and OS over.

If not, look at software like Acronis or EaseUS Partition Master to resize your C: partition.

actually no my C drive has 200GB and D drive has 700GB but i cant seem to move the partition over to the C drive.

Just need to resize your partitions, reduce D and increase C volume will do.

is the bulk of the space on c drive taken up by programs or your documents and pictures?

Pls post a picture of your disk management screen.
-click on "start"
-type "diskmgmt.msc'

Then use a snipping tools to capture and post it here

i already separated 200GB to be put in C drive but i can't seem to merge them together.

In between your C partion and the Unallocated 195.31GB disk space, there is this 451MB partition (with 12.59MB used). What is it for?
You can only expand C if you can 'move' that 451MB to immediately before D partition.

Check the video guide to merge partition:

As mentioned by ngbc, just expand your C drive to cover the unallocated space.

Select your C drive , right click, select Resize / Move partition.

so i clicked resize/move partition

and this is what appeared. i can't drag the bar to increase the space.

Because there is a small partition of 451MB in between C and the unallocated space.

i'll try to merge the 2 together then merge with C drive and see how it goes.

EDIT : it doesn't work :/ showed error.

Can you remove/delete the 451MB partition ?

i've already merged then 451MB and the 195GB together. already

If you want to resize partition C then the only way out is to delete the merged partition first.

Seriously who setup your system for you?
