Cannot expand HDD because of 450 MB Recovery space allocation
I want to 'clone' my C: drive to a bigger HDD. However, my C: drive has 450 MB of 'recovery space' that MS Technet says:
'MS has set aside a portion of your HDD for that unique Internet install they developed. That secret partition is not to be messed with, as that has all the recovery information and re-install information if you decide to do a clean re-install or just have some files replaced that may have gotten corrupted for one reason or another.'
Because of this space, I cannot expand C: to use the entire space on the bigger HDD.
I upgraded Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro and then to Win 10 Anniversary Pro. I'm perfectly happy with the way the OS is operating and have no wish to revert back. How can I remove (or move to another HDD) this 'useless' captured space so I can move to a bigger HDD?
Thanks.
