Why You Need to Merge Partitions

When you buy a new computer, you need to partition your hard drive. Maybe you give enough space to each partition, but after a period of time you may find partition that stores applications is running out of space. However, there is plenty of space on partition that keeps your photos and other files.
 

What can you do to combine the two partitions into one? I guess many people will turn to Disk Management. But Disk Management cannot merge two partitions.
 

For example, you want to merge partition C and D. Disk Management cannot merge them directly. It requires deleting partition D that is right adjacent to partition C. Then use Extend Volume feature to enlarge partition C. This way will cause data loss of partition D. So it is not practicable. Is there any way to merge partitions without losing data?
