Windows 10: How can I remove an unused partition and merge with active primary ?

Long story short, I cloned my old SSD (Disk 1) into a new m.2 (Disk 0). Is GPT the right way to go ? Or MBR ?

But now I have ended up with a 1.76gb primary partition

I tried deleting it , and also extending my active one, but won't do anything

How can I get rid of this ? I normally prefer one drive without any partitions.

Also, now I have a F: drive which I suspect is the EFI System Partition (Disk 0). How can I remove that ?




:)

 

Is it possible to merge the partition and unuse spaces together ?


As the topic said above ,Is it possible to merge the partition and unused spaces together ?

In the picture,Sorry it is in Japanese I only use drive C and D but I have another partition that I do not use and it take a

lot of space.

Partition 1 is recovery partition
Partition 2 is EFI system partion
Partition 5 is recovery partition

 

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

Hi NorthernTiger

The OS partition containing Windows 7 likely has boot information for Windows 10 on it, so, you can't just delete it.

Your option is to use a third party partitioning tool such as Easeus Todo Partition Home free.

Launch it and use it to delete both partitions.

I would recommend creating a recovery drive before deleting any of the partitions.

Keep in mind, Windows 10 might not boot after deleting both partitions, so, prepare to use your recovery drive to perform a startup repair.
