480GB SSD only has 175GBs available in the C: Drive

  Hey LTT, I had just cloned over my HDDs image to my new SSD and all the partitions came with it. So I downloaded EaseUS to try to format the SSD. There were some unused partitions that I deleted but I was left with three partitions: My C: drive (NTFS/GPT), my EFI System Partiton (FAT32, GPT ESP), and Unallocated Space. Right now there is only 175GB of space on my C: Drive and I want to add the 250GBs of unallocated space to it, but I can't expand the two partitions because the FAT32 partition is in the middle. I know how to do this with similar NTFS partitions in easeUS, just shrink and drag over, but I can't do that with the FAT32 partition. So how do I merge these two partitions if they aren't adjacent? Is there a free program that has this functionality (I don't want to have to pay for storage I already have)?
