    File Explorer won't open after OS merge & merging of partitions

This in itself seemed to keep causing problems, I had to try several various programs to perform the merge because they kept splitting my harddrive into 2 smaller partitions.

    File Explorer won't open after OS merge & merging of partitions

    Is it possible to merge the OS partition and the boot partition?

    I have 4 partitions on my HDD and am unable to download some diagnostic software due to this. I have a 500 MB reserved, OS, boot and recovery partitions. Is it possible to merge any of these partitions to make one available in Windows 10 education version?
