You are now going down a vary dangerous road, and if you can't get back where all this started your in trouble. Quit shrinking and extending now or a clean install of the os will be your only choice.

You can right click at that unallocated space and New Simple Volume and create a new partition from there but you have the option to customize the size. You shouldnt have shrunk most of drive E:.
You can try deleting drive E: by right clicking it and Delete Volume, see if it becomes an unallocated space, colored black or free space colored apple green. Usually, its the free space that can be used to extend drive C:
Sorry if its causing you a bit of trouble.

I agree entirely.
Disk management is very restrictive in what it can do, and you being asked to carry out tasks that are more suited to Partition Wizard and suchlike.
For that you would need to download the Partition Wizard ISO and burn it to a blank disc then boot into it to carry out your partitioning tasks.

His drive E: is currently empty I suppose but maybe its just right to use a third party partition manager but some of those don't come free. Reinstalling, won't change the size of the current drive C: anyways unless he installs on the current unallocated space, then that becomes the new drive C:.

Partition Wizard does come free and is eminently suitable for partitioning a hard drive.
