Again, I'm the furthest thing from an expert but I can't foresee a reason why I'd want to return it to the "original state?" I'm leaning toward leaving well enough alone. Unless I am enlightened as...

Thanks. I read that earlier. I guess I should have been more specific in asking, what exactly does it mean to restore Windows to its original state? Am I currently in an unoriginal state? Why...

Thanks for the continued input. All of this stuff is very new to me. I simply wanted a larger SDD and figured I'd do some reading and try to figure it out myself. I'm not a "computer guy," beyond...

Okay...thanks. Will look at it tomorrow. FYI, I figured out how to get that unformatted G partition back into D.

In Disk Management, I right clicked G and selected "Delete Volume." That...

Okay...that's a bit too much for tonight. One last question for the evening. I have that unformatted 4GB "G" partition to the left of D. Is there some way I can "roll" that back into D at this...

Yeah, I'd rather not waste the 26GB. I probably should have quit while I was ahead but I messed around a bit and now have a 4GB unformatted "Raw" partition (G) to the Left of D. But it doesn't say...

I had successfully created a 4GB unallocated partition to the LEFT of D, but I went ahead reallocated it back into D after I was unable to copy the 4GB OEM recovery partition from the 250 SSD. So,...

I was able to create the 4GB unallocated partition to the Left of D. The problem was that rather than dragging the double vertical lines to the left, I actually had to drag them to the right. This...

I edited the above with a screenshot.

Yes, when I hover over the left carrot, it changes to two vertical bars. But nothing happens when I drag left. When I hover over the orange section, it...

Yes, I still have the 250 GB SSD. I just connected it via USB.

In Minitool, when I right click the D drive and select Move/Resize, I cannot move it to the left. It is already fully left.

I...

I was unable to move it. The option was not there. Is there anyway to restore this partition?

Thanks! I'd watched the tutorial but somehow missed the fact that the partition could be dragged.

For whatever reason, there was no option to move the 4GB partition. But it was indicating that...

Thanks for the Welcome and for the reply.

Now for the stupid follow-up question; how do I move those two partitions?

I just cloned my 250 GB SSD to a 500 GB SSD and installed the 500 GB SSD into my laptop. There is about 228 GB that is unallocated. I want to extend the D partition to use all of this unallocated...
