Technically, you can do what you want, using Dynamic Disks. Dynamic Disks are much like LVM on Linux, except it’s a proprietary Microsoft technology.

Using Dynamic Disks will seriously impair your ability to use arbitrary software for backup and partition management. Converting a drive is also non-reversible (at least not officially) without removing all data from a drive.

As such I must very much advise against using Dynamic Disks.

If you’re sure you want to proceed, just right-click on the drive area (to the left) in Disk Management and select the conversion option. Convert both drives. You can then extend your volume D: with the free space on drive 0.

Again: Make very sure you want this. Going back is a major PITA.

You cannot merge 2 different disks. The only options you have here are to make a new partition for the unallocated space OR to expand your C:\ to use the whole space. If you wanted to combine both disks, you would have to wipe your whole machine and reinstall the disks in a raid 0 configuration
