Ik, but everytime I open the installer it has no option to change the location :´(,it just tries to install it in c and then says theres not enough space

Partitions in windows are created sequentially on the disk.  So in order to expand the C, you have to remove the D.  This is because the start of the D is at the end of the C.  So if you shrink the D, it only takes off space from the back of the D, it doesn't make room between the D and the C.

 

There should be some customization options when installing office to use a different drive.  It is likely when it tells you the location, there should be an option to change it there.

 

Also, @richyman, make sure you follow your own topics.

what version of the Office are you trying to install exactly?

There should be a "Customize" or similarly labeled button when you first launch the setup.
