• Select and right-click on it (C partition), then choose Shrink Volume.
• You can input the size volume to be shrink.
• If you are confused with the amount to be input, leave it as is, no need to change anything.
• Click Shrink to continue.
Then you will see the new space, unallocated space. From this unallocated space you can create new volume/new drive letter (D, E, etc).
To create a new volume:
• Right click on the unallocated space

Then the wizard will appear, just click: Next..next
• Enter the volume to be created, or leave it as is for the maximum size.
