@kitpzyxmsir ... You have created an image of the existing system (flawed as it seems) before starting this ..... haven't you ??
And for good measure, a couple of (re) images along the way.
Too many partitions?

How? Unlike partitions like C:\, which has a long list of options from the context menu, including "move", those 213mb and 16mb partitions have just a short list, with "no" move option.

I have 16 Macrium backups, dating back to just moments after I did a clean install of 1809, each backup representing a particular stage of development and customization along the way.

Did that pull-down in your screenshot showing E: not show the unallocated space option if you pulled it down?

Just delete the 16MB MSR partition and then you can add the unallocated space to C: drive using MiniTool Partition Wizard.

I wish they would update this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...iew=windows-10 if the MSR partition isn't required.

I agree. But it isn't required. When you convert an MBR disk to GPT using Microsoft's own mbr2gpt.exe, no MSR partition is created, so how can it be necessary when Microsoft does not create it?

I think I would just leave it .
If you want to do it, then you can use the resize partition function which cant be completed while in windows, so either it will ask for a reboot or it can be done from bootable media.
Unallocated space is not in a partition, so it wasnt offerred in you earlier screenie post #9

I created a simple volume out of it. Formatted it, gave it a drive letter (F:). It's a regular partition 200mb now, but it still doesn't show up in the extend options for C:\. I tried to extend F:\, but it's only choice is that 337mb partition to it's left. Apparently, it must be next to C:\. I don't think it matters which side.
I think I'm gonna change the drive letter for E:\, then Change the F:\ to E:\ and see what happens.
