I am Unable to shrink my C drive memory I tried every option in online but unable to solve

Greetings @JD1910 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

What is your system disk capacity and how much free space does your PC have? Your PC's  storage options at purchase show one installed M.2 NVME SSD drive having capacity options from 128 GBs to 1 TB.

I can't find your PC's MB specs. So I would not know if it is possible to add a second storage device to your MB.

What have you tried to improve free space? I don't want to suggest something to improve free space you may have already tried.

Are you storing a lot of data on the system disk? Do you have unnecessary programs installed on the system disk?

I can only suggest upgrading the system disk to a higher capacity part if this drive has: limited or no remaining free space.

Thanks for the info.

Your PC has a 512 GB SSD. The system drive (C:) now has 326 GBs free space.

I thought your PC's system drive was running out of free space.

Why do you want to shrink or make this drive smaller?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

Do you want to create unallocated space on drive (C:) so you can do a separate partition (D:) on this drive?

Check out Macrorit Partition Expert (free). I could not provide a detailed walk through on using this software. Check the "Support link" at the Macrorit site for instructions.

I suggest backing up data, doing a restore point, and better yet, doing a full system image backup before modifying the disk partition structure.

You may have to reinstall Windows if something goes wrong and you don't have a quick way to get the system up and running.
