    Disk Management conundrum


    Windows 10 Home Version 21H2 Build 19044.1526


    My main boot drive is a small SSD unit.

    Looking at the drive through Disk Management I noticed that the drive consists of 3 partitions. Apart from the Boot partition, there are 2 others with status's of Recovery Partition and EFI System Partition; both of these partitions have 100% free space. So do I need them or could I expand the space onto the main boot drive?.

    These are hidden partitions and show as having free space. In fact, they are not. Under no circumstances delete these as pc will not boot.
