Disk partion help with sisters laptop

I really do not see this as a bad thing but something more positive.
Think of it this way, C is a partition for the OS alone. Only windows and windows updates should go here from now on. Treat D as the storage partition, make a new folder and call it Software or Program files. It will look like this D:\Program Files\_______
and save all the programs in this location. I would then uninstall the programs and reinstall them on this new partition. That way you can clear up some room for C drive.
The advantages of this is in case you need to format, any documents, pictures, songs store on D partition would remain safe. Since you would just format and reinstall windows on C partition.
The downfalls come when you are doing system image backups and it now has to do both partitions.
Another downfall would the need to change the installation location manually every time or you could edit the registry and change to the new location. I would advise against this since editing the registry can lead to catastrophic episodes later on.
I do not think you can merge C and D, unless you delete both volumes (partitions) and then they can join together.

Hello hoping you could help im having a similar problem...It's to do with the disk partitions ill post a snip see if you guys can advise what i need to be doing thanks in advance.

When you start a thread, it would help everyone trying to assist you if you state the problem you are having rather than saying "you have a similar problem". I have no idea what your problem is. Thanks,

Should the recovery partition be active like in the op post.

As we're commenting/questioning on the picture in the hit & run OP, I'll add one: How did the page file get put on D:?

The OP's got some 'splainin' to do! If they ever return...:)

Seem like we have more questions than the OP.
