Can i merge unallocated space on SSD?

Can i merge the 4.88gb into the 926.63gb?

Hi, use a 3rd party partition manager such as Minitool Partition Wizard. The GUI will help you extend C: into the unallocated space by dragging- then apply your changes.

I'm wondering why the other partitions created when Windows is installed aren't shown on your screenshot. There are typically 4 for a UEFI installation of which one is not shown in Disk Management, fewer for MBR.

Thanks for the info.

I recently re-installed Windows onto my new SSD, below is my disk list:

Is yours meant to be UEFI/GPT? Or MBR? I'd expect to see a Recovery partition (no drive letter) for example.

In Disk Management you will not see the 16Mb partition.

These are not present in your screenshot. How did you install Windows? To unallocated space?

I had Windows installed on another SSD, when i pluged in my new one i created a new volume on the drive and reinstalled windows for a USB with the Windows Media creation tool, formatted the older SSD with previous Windows on it and installed on the new one

You should have installed to unallocated space, with no other Windows installation present.

If your installation is meant to be UEFI (is it?) I suggest you wipe your system drive and reinstall.

Full instructions:
Clean Install Windows 10

Hmm ok, what are the implications if i leave everything as it is?

Please note, I am assuming you should have a UEFI installation- you have not confirmed that.

You are missing the normal partitions- unless your system is MBR, it appears to be significantly wrong as I have shown.

If you have only just installed Win 10, the easiest way is to reinstall. Please have a look at the tutorial and compare with what you did.

Here's mine as per Disk Management.

BIOS Mode is Legacy
