Windows 8.1 create recovery --- need more volume on recovery drive

How to add volume to my recovery drive.

REcovery says it need 32gb, I only have 20.70gb.

I was able to take 12.70 gb out of windows C, it made it unallocated.

But I can not move it to my "Recovery Drive (D)"

HELP!!!!!

Hello,

You can add more space to existing primary partitions and logical drives by extending them into adjacent unallocated space on the same disk. To extend a basic volume, it must be raw or formatted with the NTFS file system. You can extend a logical drive within contiguous free space in the extended partition that contains it. If you extend a logical drive beyond the free space available in the extended partition, the extended partition grows to contain the logical drive.

To extend a basic volume using the Windows interface 

1.In Disk Manager, right-click the basic volume you want to extend.

2.Click Extend Volume.

3.Follow the instructions on your screen.

In the link that Simon_Wu sent you, follow the section for "To extend a basic volume using a command line" for guidance. 

You could also take a look at Disk Part Commands for additional information.
