seeing lots of conflicting advice and problems with this.
I have C: partition (Boot, Windows etc) and E: partition (data). I need to
move free space from E to C.
What is the consensus of opinion on here as to the best way to do this?

Thanks for that - I sorted it this way:
Copied all the data from E to an external HDD. Removed E partition in Disk
manager. Re-sized C partition, re-created E partition. Copied data back to
E.
Job done!
