D: is very small and could be for other uses as others have noted above. So check out what is on that drive. <br />
<br />
If there is room, you could store Documents there but do not install programs there. <br />

Overall you have enough space on C: to install programs and keep a modest amount of data. If you have a lot of photos and videos, you may wish to consider a larger drive.

Thank you. &nbsp;I think I'm going to resolve the issue by buying an SD card instead which should give me additional storage space

Hi, I've never paid much attention to the D drive before because I've always had plenty of storage but this new computer offers little storage and it's not upgrateable. &nbsp;So, I'm wondering, can I use some of the space in the D drive to store files, etc.?

Can I use D Drive?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
