  1. add disk space to drive D so that I can create image file and save


    I've gotten message that my D drive is out of space and run defrag, etc, to no improvement. I want to reset Win 10 to speed up my Lenovo performance, and to do so, I need to add free space to the D drive, which is at 25G. I decreased space on my C drive by 25G thinking I could add it to the D drive, but the unallocated 25G shows up on the left of the D drive so expanding D is ghosted. Is there a way to move the unallocated to the right of the D drive so I can expand it (from 25G to 50G ?

    Thanks, Roger

    :)

    Not enough space on Recovery (Dadd disk space to drive D so that I can create image file and save :) drive.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Please help me with the following:

    1. What is the make and model number of your Computer?


    Please note that recovery "D" is a partition on the hard drive which contains the image of the Operating system. You can use it to restore the computer back to factory settings. You should not attempt to store files in it.
    If you have any data saved on the D drive, I would suggest you to move it to an external drive and to free up some space, you can follow the steps provided in the article:
    Free up drive space in Windows 10.



    If you are using a HP computer, then you can refer to this article:
    HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - What is the Recovery (Dadd disk space to drive D so that I can create image file and save :) Hard Drive?



    Hope this helps.

    I get a “Low disk space on Recovery Image” message.

    * Original Title: Low disk space

    I get a “Low disk space on Recovery Image” message. I erased all but one file on the D-drive but the bar still shows only 745 MB free of 18.6 GB. Any suggestions?

    windows 10 disk space low on d:

    I'm being sent messages every 5 minutes that my disk space is low on D drive, but there are no files listed under that drive. What is D Drive for and how do I change my account so this doesn't continue to happen?
