In Windows 8.1 this cannot be done, at least not in my set-up, which is Acer. I sort of regret it, with hind-sight, even if the HW is supposed to be good, by individual components.
I searched advice and tips, and had no issue getting into "disk management" under "computer management" eventually.
Only, I cannot "expand" my C: - or just brutally "delete" my D: to merge it with my primary drive. I click, but the menu option is greyed out.
From a TERAbyte hard-drive, my C-drive is bluaady 372.60 BG. That is tiny!
I do not know if this limitation has to do with the OS being fragile, or patronizing the end users against inflicting purported self-harm. Or Acer "gaming features" being piss-poor.
Like Imoen, I care not - just would prefer to install all my games into my self-managed "C:" that is maxed per my preference. Think most would.
Any advice? I have not leaped into Windows 10, but can one at least merge disk partitions with internal tools with it?
