HP Laptop PC 17-by4000 (18B36AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

Hi there!  I am new to this community, but excited about finding a solution to my problem.  I have a:

HP Laptop 17-by4065st (2T3E4UA)

My 117 GB C: drive has only 25 GB left after deleting seldom used apps etc.  As you can imagine, my performance is becoming an issue and I am getting memory storage warnings.

My 😧 drive still has 881 GB of free space.

Is there a way to configure my C: drive to utilize all that 😧 drive free space?

Is there a way to remove the 😧 drive partition so that that free pace then becomes available to the C: drive?

Or.... is there another way to take advantage of all that free space?

Thank you for any suggestions you might have to help!

Steve  🙂

Normally we use C: for system fils and use D : for user data. You can setup to use D : for use files/data as default, machine will save files to D : folders (where you wish). You can also move old files on C: to D:\folders
