I need to increase the ammount of GB in my C drive. I've heard people talking about how they have like 200 GB on there computers and stuff.

My C: drive is, what I'm guessing, stores most of my data and I only have like 37.2 GB total on my C drive and I've used 30 GB already

you see this?

I want it so that the Purple is bigger than the blue. So do I have to buy a new computer or what? And deleting other programs is not an option. I need everything on it. And if I have to buy something please recommend the things to get.

You can either buy an external harddrive or internal ones

Obviously the latter involves opening your computer (and an unused molex connector on your PSU) and setting a jumper on the HD

During installations you'll have to manually choose to install programs on your new drive (unless there's a way to change the defaults)

As for moving your OS onto the new drive... I don't know how to do that

External drives usually only require a USB or FireWire port, but are generally more expensive

If you have a CD Writer (most new PCs come standard with one), try moving some stuff off the drive and onto a CD. You can run those huge waste spacing games off of that instead.

EDIT: And now... I realize that yours may not be new... might want to go with Zae's suggestion or buy a CD Writer. Whichever seems less expensive to you.
