Windows 10 Home x64 18362.418
((Clean install planned of 1909 soon as can get that done)
Windows Defender/Malware Bytes Free for Protection
Noticed another partition at end of my Laptops 128gb SSD, Did that come from doing a system reset months ago to fix the missing Temporary internet files location, possibly caused by removing Avast too much or something?
This is almost certainly a replacement larger Recovery partition. The first one is now unused. Same here, nothing new.
Because the Recovery partition is placed before C: it can't be expanded as part of an upgrade, whereas Windows is supposed to be able to take space from C: to expand the one shown to the right. Strange, isn't it?

Oh I see, well with a 128gb m.2 ssd currently in this Laptop, got a little concerned, guess may fix when i do the clean install to 1909 eventually. Otherwise laptop running great, same as Desktop
Yes thats how i normally do it on the systems, Laptop i just did a reset many months ago before updating to 1903 back then, had a little bit of issues back then, not sure if was caused by Avast or not, but Temporary Internet Files location was missing on Desktop and Laptop for some reason.
Hasn't happened again, but also haven't reinstalled Avast Free in a long while now
You can use MiniTool Partition Wizard (MPW) to peruse the dates of those recovery partitions and confirm which is the latest one being used - also by reagentc / info.
You can also use MPT to delete the old recovery partition, move the other system partition(s) to the start of the drive and recover the space saved to C:. Ensure you make a full system backup before doing this.
