How do i merge the partitions on a SSD?

[SalviniX]

Sorry if this post is hard to understand, english is not my native language and I really don't know how partitions work. When the computer guy installed windows on my M.2 SSD he made 2 partitions out of it. After many errors and blue screens I installed windows on a SATA SSD and i decided to keep the M.2 SSD for storage. Now, how do i make it one giant folder again. One partition is 150gb and the other one is 350gb, how do i make them one 500 gb partition ?

You can do that in the windows disk management. 

 

Keep in mind it'll wipe the entire drive, not just the partition.

 So it works by deleting one and then the other one will become the full size of the ssd?

No, you delete one then resize the other to fill the available space. Otherwise the space of the now deleted partition is simply free/unpartitioned.

 

Note: All files on the deleted partition are gone. So create a backup first if you want to keep them.

You have to remove all 3 partitions of the drive, then you'll see the bar "unallocated space" will increase and eventually your entire drive will be unallocated space. Then you can simply make a new, big, partition containing all drive space. 

 

Again, you will lose all data on that particular drive.
