    I assume the data that was on D is now on C??

    That looks OK. You can leave it like that if you want.

    If you don't want to keep data on C, you could shrink C, which would create unallocated space to the right of C and then make a D from that unallocated space and move the data from C to D.

    It's entirely personal preference.

    Does this look OK?

    D is now showing as a Primary partition? Is this OK? Ignore the fact D is showing as RAW because i have formatted it since

    The only option io had with the unallocated space was to make it a Simple Volume

    Yeah, that's fine. Good job.

    If you tried to shrink C or D to make a 4th partition, you would probably get a warning about dynamic disks, because you would be going to more than 3 partitions. Avoid dynamic at all costs.

    If you do want a 4th partition, you would have to make an "extended" partition like you had before with the green border. Those are fine too, but you don't need to go that route if you keep it to 3 or fewer.
