I need to allocate space for linux. Disk D is only 21GB, and is intended for system recovery. In live cd (gparted) it is not possible to allocate space from drive C, it can only be allocated from D. What will be the consequences if I format drive D, adding more space to it? The PC manufacturer writes that it should not be touched at all. And what free programs can format the D drive? Acronix is paid.

And you can also make a bootable flash drive (WinSetupFromUSB, for example) with Linux and work like that for now. If the flash drive is with USB3.0, and the port is appropriate, then you will not notice the difference between "on a hard drive and a flash drive". Plus, the data will be saved and in fact there will be no difference at all. But your AXIS with your programs, documents and other things is always with you and no hassle with settings and other things.
In general, nothing will happen. Falseclock wrote everything correctly. Just be careful with fdisk. It's better to do it through Computer Management (Control Panel - Administrative Tools). It will be much safer and easier.
But it's best to use a flash drive. No hemorrhoids, no risks, the mobility of a flash drive is ten times higher than the mobility of a laptop.
