Transferring data from "C" drive to empty "D" drive

How you transfer the files to the "D" drive to give the "C" drive more space?
Simple I know but I can not find this subject in the help files.

That depends on what you mean when you say "the files". You can't just move
everything. You can move your data (for example, you can go to the
properties of My Documents and point it at the D drive, such as
d:\data\myname ). You can uninstall some programs and reinstall them to
d:\program files. You can move your pagefile. Etc.

You might also run disk cleanup (don't compress old files if prompted) to do
a bit of housekeeping.,...TreeSize Pro is my favorite utility for finding
out what's hogging up all the space.
