Hi Garry,

Expanding the D drive will require the usage of the built-in Disk Management tool.

To open the disk management tool and to extend the size of your D drive, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
• Type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter.
• In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink (C drive) and select “Shrink Volume” from the menu.
• In the field provided in the Shrink dialog box, enter the amount of space needed to shrink the disk and click Shrink (Note:
  1GB is equal to 1000MB).
• Once done, it will create an Unallocated space .
• On the lower part of the Disk Management window, right-click on D drive and select "Extend Volume".
• Click Nexton the Extend Volume Wizard window.
• Click Next to allocate the space you've created.
• Select Finish.
• Restart your computer.
