📎 AI Summary:
A user with an HP Omen running Windows 11 wants to expand their C: drive into the D: partition but is unable to do so through Disk Management or AOMEI. Another user clarifies that the C: and D: drives are on separate physical disks and cannot be expanded into each other unless hardware RAID is supported. The original poster then clarifies that the 500GB drive is built-in and non-removable and is seeking alternative methods to increase the C: drive's capacity.

HP Omen with built-in 500Gb C Drive.
Windows 11
I want to expand the C;Drive to the D Drive
The attached photo is a depiction of the Disk Management.
The other attached photo is the Disk layout from AOMEI.
I purchased the upgrade with the hope that it would allow the partition to the right of the C: partition.
I could not move the partition.
How can expand C: onto D:?

Those are separate physical disks you can't expand between disks unless the computer has hardware raid support which it likely does not

Thank you. I misunderstood what I read.

The 500GB is built into the Motherboard, I can't see a way to remove it, so how can I increase the capacity of the C drive?
