Unallocated space - How to add to existing drive?

I have 55.55 Gb of unallocated space that I want to 'give' to my C:/ drive which currently only has 13.97 Gb of space and which I am constantly running out of space on. How do I add the 55.55 Gb of space to my C:/ drive? It looks like 'Disk Management' only allows me to create a new drive but I do NOT want to do that.

Please help!

Thanks...

you will have to use a 3rd party software like partition magic or acronis.

Take care,

the only other way around is a clean install then you would deleted all partition and create one new partition.

It does no harm to create a new drive (Probably D: )
It would be considerably easier to just move some files to the other partition.
My Docs, for example, can be moved with Tweakui, and a disk cleanup would help.
Install new programs on D.
