How can I make my D drive the primary drive on my computer?

Question

Hi,

My main problem is that I recently had to have my computer reformatted by the guys at PC world, and originally they partitioned the 500GB hard drive, with 50GB accessible on the C Drive and the other 450GB inaccessible. After complaining, and taking it back in, they have made the extra 450GB accessible; but on the D Drive, not the C. I really don't want to take it in to have them mess it up- again- so is there any way that I can reallocate the space on the D drive to the C drive or make the D drive primary? Preferably without having to remove all my programmes, but at this point, I really don't care!

Thank you,

Rebecca.

Answer 1

Download any free partition tool, and use that OR windows in-built disk manager by right clicking computer, then manage, then disk management and shrinking D drive and extending C drive.



No need to format or lose any data.



Although, it seems like a better idea to leave it how it is, as C drive should only be used by the operating system and have everything else installed in your D drive, this reduced the potential of viruses (viruses are more effective in C drive, closer to your system files, while some shitty viruses may not operate properly in D drive).
