I'm trying to resize my C: partition which has 24GB of free space to the right, but the D: partition and the Healthy Recovery partition are blocking the way. I've tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard, but it won't let me move the Healthy Recovery partition. I'm concerned about losing data in the process. Is there a way to handle this without formatting my PC? Any guidance would be super helpful!

It sounds like your C: and D: partitions are on the same physical disk. Try using Windows Disk Manager; right-click on your D: drive and see if it offers a "Shrink Partition" option. If it does, shrink D: to create some unallocated space. Then, you should be able to expand C: into that free space, provided they are adjacent.
That's a good point, but when I tried shrinking D:, the free space ended up way to the right, so the Recovery Partition is still in the way of expanding C:. Is there any workaround for that?
