Step 1: Launch AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro, view the whole partition configuration. It has a graphic user interface, which makes it particularly user-friendly for novice or inexperienced computer users. The layout is similar to other office products with functions available listed on the left and menu items on the top. The middle pane shows further details about information of your disk.
Step 2: As we can see there is no unallocated space. (If there is, right click the unallocated space and choose Merge Partitions, and then tick C drive, click OK and Apply to perform the change.) So, we need to shrink partition E since it contains more free space compared with partition D. Right-click E, select "Allocate Free Space" and the program will pop-up a new window.
Step 3: Then decide how much space you want to move from partition E to the target partition-the C drive. You can directly input the specified number or click these two small triangles upwards and downwards. And then click "OK" to continue.
Step 4: The free space will be merged into partition C when step 3 is finished. Before click the "apply" on the tool bar to commit the operations, we can preview the changes in "Pending Operations". When an error occurs, the "Undo" "Redo" and "Discard" buttons can help correct the last step of the operation. All done, you can see the partition redistribution as the following screenshot.
Besides this method, AOMEI Partition Pro also provides another two ways to solve this problem. You can right click the E partition and choose “Resize Partition”, then swipe right forward the bar to generate an unallocated space that is adjacent to partition C (since the speed of merging adjacent partitions is much faster than nonadjacent ones), and then merge this unallocated space into C drive. The other way is using the Extend Partition Wizard which lies at left side. Just follow the guidance and things should be plain sailing from now on.
