>>>I don't see why not. You can do that in Window's Disk Management. Personally I don't recommend more than two partitions; one for Windows ans applications, and one for data.

Either the whole C: drive would become a mess, or it would start losing IP address (XP was notorious with that), or the registry would get hosed... anything. Happened on the average every three years (sometimes twice in the same week). Having the apps somewhere else saved a lot of time. You wouldn't believe how many apps out there don't give a damn about the registry and use their own registration and settings, in plain old files in app folder. Or %appdata% when the app folder became a no-no. Having both of them somewhere else saved me days.

Do you use Windows 10 or 7?
