On my Hyper-V host (Windows Server 2019), C drive need to be extended but the unallocated space which was shrunk from D volume, is not next to C. How can I move the free space to be on the right side of C?

2023-03-01T14:41:07.8233333+00:00 Cannot delete the middle partition since it is holding a production vm right now. I assume there is no way the C drive can be extended without deleting anything
