Thanks for help

Windows won't be able to accommodate your request. You can use a tool like Gparted to move the F partition to the right and then you can extend the C drive from the disk management screen or with gparted. GParted -- A free application for graphically managing disk device partitions. You may want to back up anything important on F as a move can screw up the partition if it fails or the system looses power.

Hi Neemobeer The results were not helpful I tried to download Gparted but failed due to "disk Full"I had already deleted as much as possible and backed up f: Next I tried EASUS no good / Tried Reset / No good/Tried Clean Install / no good I noted that the pc been activated by " Digital Licence " I have now run out of Ideas Thanks

This probably won't help but just a thought I had. I would back up all you can and then replace your hard drive with a larger one and do a clean install.

Do you have hibernate turned on? You can disable that temporarily to free up space. From an elevated command prompt type powercfg /h off

I would delete the F drive (after moving any important to the ext tosh) then scrub it back to unallocated space... then increase the size of C drive using it
