Clean Installation of Windows - Mysterious Partition?

image.jpegHi, what is this weird Drive 0 of Unallocated Space that I cannot format or delete? It's taking up 500MB it seems. Doing another installation of Windows 10 with the intention to do a custom install to clean everything. First time I installed Windows 10, this 500MB partition did not exist. Also, why is my SSD being read as 476.4GB when it's a 512GB SSD?

its da boot partition. You should boot in uefi where it make 3 little ones

 

Its 476.4GiB, which is 512GB. Microsoft uses gib, your hdd is measured in gb.

Worth it to do another clean install right now just to do it from UEFI?

I agree.  UEFI would be a better option to go.  The additional partitions are normal for boot and recovery when using UEFI.  If using Legacy through BIOS, only 1 additional partition is created for boot.  It is required and normal.
