| | Should be. Open the virtual disk manager (right click computer icon select manage, click disk management), you'll see your drives as bars across the screen. Right click the bar for D: and select shrink, then enter the size you want to shrink by. Finally right click C: this time choose extend volume. Should now be done. |

| | It is possible but you may not be able to do it with the Windows Disk management. You may need a 3rd party partitioning program like Acronis Disk Director or some other program like that. |

| | I don't think Disk Management will do it if the free space isn't at the end of the volume you're expanding. If would have to be [C] [free space] [D] not [C] [D] [free space]. You'd likely have to create a partition in the free space and make the two a dynamic disk. Or use another utility to do it. I'd back up anything important to external media incase it all goes wrong.
