C drive and D drive reversed
I just purchased an Acer Aspire V Nitro, but I was already low on drive space after intalling a few apps. Looking at my drives, it looks like the C and the D are flopped - I have a whole TB of data on the 
drive and barely anything on the C: drive.
Since they seem to be physically different drives, I can't just shrink and extend C: in its place - when I shrink , it won't let me extend C: into its place. Is there a way to flip the drives so that all the "C" drive stuff including the boot happens on what is now my "D" drive? This is something I'd like to fix while my computer is still less than 24 hours old.
Any help would be much appreciated!

they are not reversed, they are correct.
C: is an SSD drive and this will speed up your OS and you can install some programs that need fast data access.
is an HDD and it's intended as storage drive, so you can install programs that need big storages (like games) or save your personal dataso if you need to install a lot of things, simply tell the program installer to install data to
(you can simply change C: to installation path)I'm not an Acer employee.0

Thank you so much! Learn something new every day.
What would be something that qualifies as needing fast drive access? (My tech knowledge is ... relatively limited.)

Oh....hard question.
it depends on your everyday use or system request.
personally i have a 240GB SSD and i never used over 50% of capacity, so.....it's up to you.
