My C: drive is full. How can I add 50 GB space to it from D: which has 100 GB free space?
Remember that both are DYNAMIC, not Basic.
I can't find any proper video in Youtube.

Disk Management image is here. In it, D: is not adjacent to C:.

First time I've seen a C: drive with more than 5 partitions but all I can provide is that the partitions have to be resized to make space available. It would have to start with the right-most partition reduced from the left to the right then move the second to the right and continue moving small partitions until the free space is against the partition to be resized [C:] then merge the free space to that C: partition. I've done similar but not while in the running/booted Windows and not on Dynamic drives. A caveat, there's some small partitions Windows can't deal with.

It looks like that you need a bigger drive anyway as your partitions are all pretty full already. I would copy/clone the whole drive to a new 4TB drive and let the program resize the partitions dynamically. That would automatically increase all partitions.

Just my 2 cents on this
