If you are running out of space on the C drive moving the D: drive would save 1.5x8 (if system managed). Moving the page file does require a reboot.

i would use treesize to see where the space usage is
most, i would imagine, would be in the windows folder but should find something there that could be cleaned or moved

I can move the pagefile location which is 1.25GB to the Drive
where are the update files so I can move over then delete some of these?

Unfortunately, starting with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, you can't delete the update files. They're buried somewhere in C:\Windows\WinSxs, and if you touch ANYTHING in that folder it will hose your system.
Add the Desktop experience feature, then run WindowsUpdates and make sure you also do the optional updates, as at least one of them is needed (but I don't remember which one it is).
After that run the Disk Cleanup wizard. Updates should now be included within that so you can use the wizard to clean them up too.
After that you can also go to \Windows\SoftwareDistribut
Also make sure you don't enable full memory dumps, but rather just small memory dumps.

I prefer to start off with moving my page file, Do I just edit location Startup and Recover properties like in 2008?
It's under the Performance, Settings, Advanced tab.

8GB this is used as a file server by 4 users using the D drive which has plenty of space
C is a 60GB partition
