    Copying Partition D to C on hard drive

    I went to do a defrag and it looks like partition D has only 9% free space.
    How do I copy some of the applications to C and not lose the data on D.



    I would appreciate assistance.

    Thank you.

    Re: Copying Partition D to C on hard drive

    On many new computers, the D: drive is a recovery partition, with all of the
    files needed to return the computer to the "as bought" condition. No other
    files should be saved to this partition.
    If yours is not a recovery partition, you may move files, but not most
    applications.

    You cannot move most applications from one drive to another, you have to
    uninstall them from D, and reinstall them to C.
