2018-02-23T19:37:16+00:00 I serious doubt that any OEM would make you OS drive small and then create another partition of 1TB
and if you knew anything, the clue is right there
D:\ drive shows 931GB total size, that is the MAX size of a 1TB hard drive which is actually exactly 931GB.
so yes, I am the genius
It's not uncommon these days for PCs to be supplied with relatively small SSDs with the OS installed and a large hard drive for data storage. That looks to be the case here, but again, we don't know for sure. Unlike you, I like to be sure of what I'm talking about before I start talking. Again, the OP's problem can be solved without buying another drive, and if you would kindly get of the way, he can be helped in that direction.

It would BE IMPOSSIBLE of D:\ to be part of DISK C:\
C:\ = Disk 0 - 118GB Total
D:\ - Disk 1 - 931GB max total.
