Windows 10: Cannot extend un-allocated space

Discus and support Cannot extend un-allocated space in Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware to solve the problem; If I may make a suggestion, when you receive software updates for all your 3rd party programs start saving the installers, and get ahold of any drivers...

    There is no rush to do it as long as everything is functioning well and you have a working system.
    I waited a while then prepared everything, made a pot of coffee, then spent about 2 hours and was finished. To help speedup a re- or clean install to get the same desktop as before, let windows sync all your settings, that's one of my favorite features on 8 & 10, as it saves about an hours work*Smile. Important with 10 is get your video driver before hand, so you can install it right away, to be able to see everything else better in the correct resolution for your screen.

    The only problem with deleting the recovery partition is that you cannot reset your system without having a Windows 10 install media - which you should have anyway because if your hard drive goes bad, so does the recovery partition on that hard drive Cannot extend un-allocated space :).

    So, incorporating what Cliff S said. There are two ways to maintain a good backup. 1 is to have a Windows 10 install USB or DVD available, and to have your data and programs backed up separately. The other is just to keep a complete system image backup and a rescue disk/USB that can restore the complete system image. (Such as Macrium Reflect Free). When you restore the system image, the Windows that was installed also gets restored with the image.

    Personally, I have both. I have a Windows 10 install USB and a full system image on an external hard drive (second, internal hard drive would also work).
