I need help! Here is what i did I had a Small SSD 60gb and i cloned it using 1tb SSD. now here is what I have in my system:

3rd Partition *: 595mb
4th Partition E:DataDrive 842.14gb

I would like to increase my drive c: and get portions of drive e, but to merge the 2 drive they have to be parallel to each other. drive *: is primary partition in between them how do i go about it.

    Partition 3 is Windows Recovery Environment WinRE, when your PC does not boot correctly, that is the blue screen that asks if you want to use a restore point, or other options.
    If you are an average user, please keep WinRE, and simply shrink partition 4, then move partition 4 to end of disk, then move partition 3 to the right, then expand partition 2.
    If you are an advanced user, you do not need partition 3 WinRE. In the future, If your PC does not boot, you can use the WinRE included on Windows 10/11 USB. You could delete partition 3, then shrink partition 4.
    Partition Assistant is great software with many tools, but I do not recommend using it to shrink partitions, because Disk Management diskmgmt.msc can do it faster.
    Always make a full disk backup before doing deep operations like these on your disk. Backup onto an external disk, then turn PC off and unplug that disk during your work.
    Please post a screenshot.

    @Nathan143, Maybe you can use AOMEI Partition Assistant to allocated free space from E: drive to C: drive: https://www.diskpart.com/help/allocate-free-space.html
