I just bought a new Lenovo IdeaPad 320, with Windows 10 pre-installed with two normal partitions (C: and D:) and One Key Recovery Partition. Size of C: drive is too large, also I want to create other partition to manage my data easily.
Here is the complete details of partitions:

I want to reduce size of C: drive and want make two new partitions from space reduced from C: drive, without affecting the Recovery Partition, which is located at last of holding size of 1000 MB.
How can I do it without affecting my Reovery Partition? If I shrink C: drive volume, and create other drives, will it affect Recovery Partition?

You indicated you had a separate recovery partition. I am not sure the reason you have a 1 TB recovery partition, seems excessive, considering it sounds like you don't even have a windows recovery partition. Besides you indicated you wanted to shrink the C partition, so doing so, is the only way to do that.

So shrink the partition that contains Windows and delete the driver partition (drivers can be downloaded on the internet) then create the partitions you want. Update your question and delete your comment

Open start menu, Disk Management
Select the partition from the list and select shrink volume from the menu.
It will allow you to shink the file system down to as small as it can be made without running into unmovable files.
Once the partition has shrunk it will make unallocated space available after it. According to your layout this will be before your drivers and recovery partitions. Create a new partition here then format it then "Change driver letter or path" to assign it.

Right-click “Computer”-> “Manage”-> double click “Disk Management”, right-click the C drive, select “Shrink Partition”. It will query volume for available shrink space.
Then, type in the amount of space that you want to shrink by, then the unallocated space will be next to C drive.
Create a new partition based on the unallocated space.
