However, you can still extend your C drive by moving data from your D drive to an external drive, deleting the D drive partition from Disk Management, and then expanding your C drive. But be sure to make an important decision here: expand your C drive only to a point where you can recreate the D drive and move the data back to it. I did this on my Windows 11 laptop today and had no issues.

MrKnewItAll 0 Reputation points2024-08-28T00:19:41.7733333+00:00 I cannot see the details of the above screen grab, but you probably have the same problem I, and thousands of others, encountered.
When Windows 11 was installed it created a 'recovery' disk, butted right up against the operating disk.
Windows 11 will not allow you to expand past that recovery disk, nor will it just let you move that recovery disk down to the end of the available space.
You must delete that recovery disk- then you can expand your operating disk. This does not seem like a good idea since, "Hey! That's the recovery disk. It must be there for a reason.!"
I don't know if I did the right thing or not, but I had Windows 11 build a new recovery disk on a removable drive, then I deleted the one on my laptop, then I expanded my operating disk to where I wanted it. It worked fine, but- left me with some feeling of discomfort.
I did not find any reference for gracefully re-creating a recovery drive and returning that recovery disk info to that drive. Instead, I have it on a pen drive in my desk drawer.
HAY MICROSOFT! If you're not too busy with other stuff, can you figure out a way to make this work without creating so much worry?

Grant, Robert 0 Reputation points2024-10-03T12:12:30.6166667+00:00 In theory, third-party software might be out there that could fix this problem. The question is if you can trust them. It is worth the effort if you are desperate enough to keep your recovery on that physical drive. Otherwise, it is much safer to do a "clean install" of the OS and software and restore your files if this becomes necessary.
