    Click on the Drive letter you want to Change then click Change Drive letter or path

    After that click Change and assign a different letter then click ok

       Warning
    It is highly not recommended to change the drive letter of where you OS is installed as a lot of programs rely on the Drive letter as a directory


    See the attachment for more details

    Also you can only use 1 Letter at one time

    I have a paid Paragon HDM 2010 and I just had a look and I didn't see an option to re-arrange partition locations, just to re-arrange "free space" locations, that wouldn't help you.


    You cannot change the OS drive letter without disabling the OS completely, besides, Windows disk management won't allow that.

    Hello.

    The only real way to do it would be to shrink C: enough so the data from D: can be moved to the 'new' created partition then use Partition Wizard Boot Disk to resize the left side of C: partition into the 'old' D: space.


    Have a look at this tutorial at the link below starting at Step Two for some ideas.
    First download the Partition Wizard Bootable Disk (PWBD) ISO file to the desktop, be sure to get the PWBD and not the installed version; scroll down to see the download link for the bootable CD ISO file at this link below.
    Then use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD, at no greater than 4x speed with a verify; it was designed for use and works best from a CD rather that a DVD then boot the created CD to make the changes.

    I'll save you time and grief and just say....don't. Unless you are looking for an excuse to do a clean install.
