I have a hp 570 p064, windows 10 home. I have tried to increase my c drive storage by taking some of the 600+ gb on my d drive, but can't do it based on the tutorials I have seen. The problem is, I think, that I have 2 discs in this computer and can't repartition or reallocate space from drive d to drive c since they are each on a different disc.. is there a solution? Thanks

According to the specs, your PC does have two drives -- and because of that, you can NOT increase the space on the 128GB SSD.
However, here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space on the C drive:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

In addition, I have found the utility Cleanmgr+ to have LOTS of options for removing Windows junk, including log files. I use it practically every day. You can get it from here: https://www.getclone.app/download/category/11-cleanmgr
Also, there is a freeware app known as Wise Disk Cleaner. I use it every day to get rid of junk files: https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html

Thanks for the reply. Too bad I need the space. Good tips on recovering space from my c drive, but my situation is a bit more complex than that. I am attempting to import me iTune library to this new computer, It alone needs 160gb of space. That's why I wanted to get to the d drive.
So it seems that the space on d is unavailable to me? Seems unreasonable, it must be a lack of understanding on my part. Any thoughts? Thanks

Your comments said nothing about having problems getting to the HDD; instead, all you asked about was moving space from one drive to the other.
If you can't "see" the other drive, or if you can't write files to it, that is an entirely different issue.
So, you need to explain THAT issue in some detail. What have you tried? What errors did you get?
