Short answer for : you can give more space to your system (Local Disk) but only if you either create unallocated space immediately next to that partition or use a partition tool that can move/resize partitions. As guessed, this is essentially a merge/reallocation task — and it can destroy data if done incorrectly, so back up or image the disk first.

A safe, practical plan you can follow:

  • Backup or image the whole disk (recommended).
  • Open Disk Management (Computer > Manage > Disk Management) and inspect the layout. If you can shrink or delete the partition immediately to the right of the volume you want to grow, Windows can then use that unallocated space with Extend Volume.
  • If the free space is not adjacent, or you have four primary partitions (MBR limit), use a reliable third-party tool that can move partitions and merge space without data loss (example: GParted Live or a partition manager). For the official extend behavior see the Microsoft docs on the Extend command (Extend command). For a free live tool see GParted Live.
  • If you cannot safely rearrange partitions, consider freeing space by uninstalling large programs, moving personal files to another drive, or installing AutoCAD on a different partition/external drive.

If you post a screenshot or the exact Disk Management layout (list sizes and types), I or others can give step‑by‑step steps tailored to your exact setup.
