How to combine disk 1 and disk 0? Or how take the volume from disk 1 to disk 0?

Hi Ahmad

You cannot combine those spaces, because your System has 2 physically separate drives, a 128GB SSD drive and a 1TB HDD

For a system like that this is the best way to manage storage space and prolong the life of your SSD drive:

1.

Move all your User Library folders to D:

Open Windows File Explorer

In the right hand pane, right click your Documents folder and choose Properties

Select the Location tab

In the Location box, type D:\Documents then click Apply and Ok

When that move completes, do the same for Pictures, Videos and Music

Each time, provide a new folder location, for example, Pictures will go to D:\Pictures

2.

Move the location of all future content downloaded from the Microsoft Store

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to System - Storage - Change where new content is saved:

Change all options you find there to D

3.

If you are a Steam Gamer

Stop all processes associated with Steam

Move the Steam folder to your D drive manually

Then open the Steam Control Panel and point that to the new location

4.

Please Note: this should ideally be done before you begin installing any software

For 3rd party applications, some will allow you to choose an installation location, for those, create a new Program files folder on your D drive, then for each application, create a new sub-folder of that folder

Other 3rd party applications will not allow you to change the installation location, and there is no safe way to move those to your D drive . . .

What you need to is to clone the disk 0 to disk 1 and then remove the disk 0 as a backup.

In the cloning the system disk C:\ will be transferred to disk 1 as C:\ and it should become the boot drive.

Then you can resize the other partitions down to smaller sizes and make other partitions for data and other things like photos.

You will need one of the 3rd party disk management software.  I use EaseUS ToDo Backup which has a free version to do the clone.  Then I would use EaseUS Partition Manager to change the partitions as it can be done graphically.

If you search the forum you will find other free programs.

HI

My solution above deal with your unallocated space

You cannot merge disk 0 and disk 1 because they are a physcially different hard disk

Hi Ahmad,
I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

Disk 0 and 1 are different drives and you cannot extend 0 and add space from 1.

To gain space, follow the steps here:
First of all, eliminate all useless files on C:/ by using Disk Cleanup.

Make sure you have checked System files option after the first scan.
Also,
Treesize should tell you which files and folders are taking up the space.

It is worth checking the Users folder and its subfolders with it.
