Remove Extraneous Partitions on HDD Boot Drive Windows 10
So I used the Windows 10 installation media to put the Windows 10 installation files on a flash drive, and the installed Windows 10 onto my Samsung Series 7 Chronos laptop (it's old, it originally shipped with Windows 8; not 8.1, 8). After the installation, I went into the Disk Managment and noticed this:
Notice all of the partitions on the C drive! I don't know how they were created and which ones are important, but I'm fairly confident that most of them DON'T need to be there.
Unfortunately, Disk Management will not let me remove any of the 6 partitions directly, and I'm pretty sure that it should only have 3 partitions, one for Windows Boot Manager, one for my files, and the other one created by Samsung for system recovery. Unfortunately, I have NO idea which partition corresponds to what (except the 900 GB one being for my operating system, obviously), and I honestly don't know how to remove the extra ones that I don't need.
How can I determine which partitions of this hard drive that I don't need, and how can I actually get rid of them?
For reference, my specific laptop's model number is NP700Z5C-S02UB if that helps.
