    Can I remove Win. 8 Recovery on D drive. I now have Win. 10


    Rename it in My PC. Right click the drive, go to properties, and type what you want to call it. It will ask for permission, go ahead.

    I misunderstood.... it probably says "Unallocated". Can't rename a partition that does not exist. Extend the C: drive to include it, as suggested above.
