Windows 10 partition on a SSD, resizing?

Edward78

I think the small one is Recovery (but why would it be that small?), anyway it tells me if I mess with it Win10 might be unbootable? It would be silly to not let my data one take the left over space.

You can use MiniTool Partition Wizard (from Windows), delete that second ntfs partition, move small partitions to the end of drive, resize first ntfs partition.

Don't know if it's what you want to do (made one big partition).

If you have problem only with that two small partitions and you want to have two ntfs partitions - leave it as is. Nothing wrong with that settings.

I want to shrink the Windows partition, move Recovery to the end (after Windows 10) & expand data. That will not make Windows unbootable will it?

You can shrink system partition, move recovery to the left and resize data. Do not change partitons order.

Cool, I thought so.
