Split SSD on new laptop

[aimingyou]

Hey guys

I recently bought an ASUS G551JW and it has a 256 gb SSD in it Which I want to store some of my games on. The problem is that it seems to be split into two virtual drives, and I'd like to merge the into one drive since I'm going to be putting a few big games on it.

 

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can change it with a Windows OS without reinstalling Windows. You could always just tell Steam to install your games to your D: drive.

Use software to migrate your OS to an external drive, then combine the 2 drive partitions on your SSD and then migrate the OS back.

I just bought the computer so reinstalling windows isn't a problem

Download EaseUS partition master.

 

It's easy peesy.

 

There is an option of Merging partition.

 

Works with OS drives too. did it like tons of times.

You figure if I just reinstall windows 10 they should merge?

Go into disk management , Delete partition "D", then extend partition "C"

You'd have to delete the partitions and make a new one. But it looks like the other guys here have some ideas that might work out better, listen to them.

But it won't just format the drive and bin my OS tho' right?

It'll add that second partition to the OS partition. And no data loss unless you do anything wrong.

I'm getting an error saying "find some partition error, continue this operation might cause boot failure and data loss" ?

Not sure about that.

 

Are you sure that you're aware of what you are doing?

 

Because I can help you over Teamviewer if you want.
