So i upgraded to a larger ssd from my 250gb ssd. I cloned it as is using acronis and now there is unallocated space at the very end of the disk. Is there any way I can allocate that space to my C:drive without reinstalling windows all together? Also what is the 900mb beside my C drive, and can i delete it?

 

I'm usually a mac person. The windows disk management program seems lacking.

gparted in a linux live disk can do this.

 

Otherwise you can probalby delete that recovery partition, its not from microsoft, and the 900mb partition. Make backups first.

Would the recovery partition potentially be from the cloning process?

Is this a prebuilt pc? This seems to be from a OEM adding the partition.

Yes. Its an Asus prebuilt. So I'm guessing its a recovery partition for all the asus bloatware?

Yup, it has all the asus bloat. Id remove it as you can reinstall from a generic ISO from microsoft if needed, and download the asus files.

Is it possible to just move it to a different drive?

Id just delete the asus recovery partition, no reason to keep it.

The Recovery Partition, is what used to be the Recovery Disc that used to ship with Asus computers back in the day. Its just a hidden partition with a default image to restore the main system partition too factory specs. This includes all the default Asus drivers but also bloatware as well. Personally i'd just delete it and that 900MB partition, and extend out the C: drive to the full disk.

 

You could create a bootable thumb drive with Windows 10 using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool if you ever need to reinstall.

Should I create a bootable thumb drive before deleting the partitions?

You can if you want, but theres no point. Those partitions are not part of the Windows install. 

The system partitions are the 260MB EFI System Partition, and your 220GB Boot Partition.
