OK, a number of things
First, Rivits
Microsofts licencsing agreements with large scale manufacturers insist that the recovery image be on the primary hard drive. How exactly that is done is down to the PC builder, but it could be a hidden partition, or sometimes a visible one. Either way you're going to be losing part of the hard drive, in some cases you'll be aware. In most you won't.
glad rag
these "Microsoft Games". Are these products you've downloaded and installed? Sounds like you've set the downloads folder to be the d: drive. Next time you download it, change the destination to something like "c: \downloads", and use that as the storage folder
Leave the D: drive alone!!!!! Do not use it for storage.
As for changing the partition sizes, why? The C: drive is 50% full, you won't need to worry about performance issues before you get to over 75% full. Leave well alone.!!!!
Finally, the updates
Try selecting and installing them one by one. You'll find that either they all work doing it that way, or else you get a specific error message. Please give us that exact error
