You ran low on storage on your SSD and upgraded to a larger drive. You used Macrium to clone the old drive, but you're having trouble merging the unused space into the main partition. Someone can assist you with that issue.

windows restricts you to expanding only into neighboring areas. A smart solution is to install a bootable linux ISO and use gparted to adjust the partition size, or simply download a tool that handles it automatically. I tried some on a similar case last week—free and it worked smoothly.

You can see the old drive is still working and available. © That means I can try recreating the clone again if needed — but I’m not sure what to do next...

It looks like you're trying to figure out how to rename certain directories or files. In this case, you mentioned having the C, E, and J drives and wondered if renaming C and J to J and C would work. That’s a valid approach if you want to organize them under different names. Just make sure your system allows such renaming and that the paths are correctly set up.

you need to identify which drives are present. USB sticks connected count as drives and receive letters. Typically your primary operating system drive is labeled C, other storage devices are D, E, etc., with removable items following. The exact names don’t matter much; Windows will recognize them and place them correctly in the hierarchy. I labeled mine based on each drive’s model so I can track them easily when moving files.

I'm using my primary hard drive as the main system, while D remains unchanged. E and J will be the new SSDs. It seems the system was cloned and a reserved partition was made for E.

Here’s how I’ve organized it: each drive gets a consistent letter regardless of its name. F is my new HDD, the PM981 is my primary OS drive (NVMe), the SX8200 Pro is another NVMe for storage, and the S280 is a SATA SSD also used for storage.

It will restart your system, which may refresh all open applications and services on your C drive.

Launch BIOS and choose your new storage as the primary boot source.
