    Combining C: and D: drive partitions


    A couple weeks ago my PC had some problems and i had to send it somewhere to fix it, now when it came back, it has two partitions, and the problem is, D: has way more memory than C: (more precisely, D: has around 850 GB and C: has 150 GB) and I really wanted to combine them back, because C: is the primary partition, and I don't know how to fix that.

    (Yes, I know the info below is in portuguese, but it's obvious what it represents.)

    Combining C and D drives

    Alice, are you having any specific issues related to having two drives/partitions? For various reasons it is actually recommended to have a separate partition for your data, instead of having just a single one for both your data and Windows.

    If you really want to combine them regardless you will need to obtain the help of someone knowledgable, otherwise you run the risk of losing all your existing data too.

    As for your lost desktop icons/files/folders, it's difficult to suggest anything without knowing what exactly the technician did. They may simply have been moved somewhere temporarily, and perhaps the technician forgot to put them back. Or they may have
    been deleted, in which case you'll have to use data recovery software but there's no guarantee you'll recover everything. But first, any way you can ask the technician to list all the changes made to your system?
