Windows 10: Can I delete a certain Partition because of this error msg when attempting to reinstall Win...

CURRENTLY, my desktop disk display shows the following of what I have after returning to Win 7 Pro when I am forced to return back to 7 after attempting to reinstall Win 10 Pro:




On my much older HP laptop with 2 gigs of RAM, I have never had trouble with Win 10 Home Edition, but I do when attempting to reinstall Win 10 Pro. Originally, I did not have an issue, but after a Microsoft update causing a crash, I cannot reinstall my Win 10 Pro. It stops with this msg showing the following:



There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location.

Make sure that, for all volumes to be backup, the minimum required disk space for shadow copy creation is available...


On my laptop, I do not show anything on its "C" drive as a System Reserved. Therefore, with my Desktop currently running its original Win 7 pro I do. Questions: which Reserved do I work with "D" or "G." Currently, nothing is in either. If I have to expand "D" or "G," which one?


On line, I can find resolutions to the msg, BUT nothing addresses having two System Reserves


Thank you

:)

 

Can I safely delete certain partitions?

All the partitions to the right of C:\ can be safely deleted. I noticed you have some substantial unallocated disk space that you should try recovering.

After deleting the suggested partitions, the Volumes you deleted will now appear as ‘Free space’, you will also notice that the disk icon no longer appears in the list of volumes.

Right click the Free space partition, and click Delete, click Yes on the Disk Management warning that appears.

The volume will now appear as Unallocated. Our next step is to merge back that unallocated free space with the system partition (C. Right click the System volume then click the ‘Extend Volume’ option on the contextual menu, click ‘Yes’ when the warning appears.

A wizard will now begin that will guide through the steps to merge back the unallocated space with your system partition.

The wizard provides a simple procedure to merge back the unallocated space with the system drive. Once you have selected the space, click Next, at the end of the wizard, you will see the amount allocated.

 

Deleting or Formatting a Partition


Once you are able to reinstall windows please indicate the steps that you made to clean the drive and install Windows 10. The steps that are usual are in post #8 and essembe displayed them in post #20. Did they fail again? If you try diskpart again let us know the fail error. Were you able to use the steps that Kyhi listed?

 

Help, I deleted a partition, and can't seem to "extend" the other partition

Ok, here's how it happened.

I had 2 partition. XP and Win7 x86.

I shrank the Win7 x86 partition and created a new partition (Win7 X64)

I then deleted Win7 x86 partition.

edit: what warup suggested did the trick. It took 20+ minutes for that software to do it, but hey it worked.. Thanks
