Clear temp, prefetch, old restore points, remove unnecessary programs. If no gain, then reduce page file or move it if necessary.

Upload a fresh screen shot, its too small to figure out anything.

^^ Try Extend/Shrink partitions, then try creating a "New volume" with the free space as below.

do not use windows disk management to modify C drive space.use some software like easeus partition master home free(best for windows 7/xp but runs a bit slower on win 8 & with some issues) or MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition free(works fine on win 8 too).

Use this method, tested it personally. How to Merge Partitions to A Bigger One
Download the free home edition Free Partition Manager - AOMEI Partition Assistant Home

The process doesn't take more the 5 minutes. Empty the drive before hand to speedup the process. No data loss, no damage.

+1.

though i'd strongly urge you to use a linux live CD and use Gparted software to do the changes. windows-based tools may damage your data.
