Can I use my local disk D to transfer all of my data (pics, videos, apps etc.) I'm looking to buy a new computer and I don't wanna spend money on new hard drive, because I can see that my computer shows me unused local disk D, it has 70GB of free space. So can I transfer all those data and put it there and after that use that same local disk on my new computer?
Is local disk D external drive and can I use it to transfer data?

Not directly, no.
You'd need a external USB connected enclosure of dock of some kind.
Or, you take this drive out of the current PC, connect it internally int he new CPC, and copy your stuff over.
Or, you copy all stuff that to 'the cloud' somewhere. DropBox, OneDrive or similar.
Then copy it back down to the new PC.

That is a single physical internal hard drive.
160GB (149GB actual)
Split into two partitions, 78.03GB and 70.92GB.
That drive may have once been installed in an external enclosure.
But it currently is the only hard drive inside your system.
The fact that you had to actually open the case to look at it is the very definition of "Not External".
