Unallocated space on C drive
I have an old laptop from 2010 (Acer Aspire 5740G-6395) that I had put to the side last year because my employer bought me a new laptop and the Acer was taking 10-15 minutes to boot. When I became aware of the low price of SSDs, for a tinkering project I picked up a 120gig SSD for $19 at Micro Center and figured I'd have a go. All is going well - I won't say the laptop feels brand new but it is now quite functional. (It went so well that I did the same thing with a 2009 Acer netbook and even that one is at least usable at least for me to learn Linux on, but I digress).
My question is that looking in Disk Management there is 442 MB of unallocated space. I have no idea how it got there but given the small size of the SSD would love to reclaim it if I can. But I don't want to blow everything up if that can be avoided. Is there any way short of reinstalling windows that I can accomplish it, or should I just leave it alone?
(Windows 10, ver 2004 btw - I decided against cloning the old HD and starting with a fresh install)
