KatheD Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I am looking for a product to increase my C drive - taking away from my D drive. I have found many but not sure what wont harm my computer. I trust CCleaner - been using it since the start. So figured I would ask here for advice thanks Kathe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trium Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 i would do that only with a new set up of the whole system - new os-install because of the contiguous partition sections of the hard drive and the associated access times Versions of CCleaner Cloud; Introduction Ccleaner Cloud; Ccleaner-->System-Requirements; Ccleaner FAQ´s; Ccleaner builds; Scheduling Ccleaner Free Es ist möglich, keine Fehler zu machen und dennoch zu verlieren.

Moderators nukecad Posted June 13, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2019 You can do it manually using the disk management tools built into Windows. But it's a bit of work and entails deleting D (or another partition) to create some free space, then expanding C into part of that free space, then re-creating a smaller D. Here's a guide to doing it (from a company that has it's own repartitioning tool):https://www.disk-partition.com/tutorials/allocate-free-space.htm I've never used one of the advertised tools, the few times I've wanted to repartition a drive I've used the built in Windows tools. I have seen decent reviews about the one in the above link but have never used it, there is a free or a paid for version - your best bet is to read the reviews of a few of them yourself, particularly on technical sites and computer magazine websites. Whatever you do then if you are going to attempt this you should make a clone/mirror image of your drive before starting. (using Macrium Reflect or similar). That way if it goes wrong then you have the clone/mirror as a backup. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

Moderators Augeas Posted June 13, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2019 Why not just move some of your data folders to the D drive? That would be the same as 'taking away' space from the D drive, and exceedingly easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
