Extensions can only be made into the immediate free area next to the partition. This is why the boxes in Disk Management are positioned this way; they relate to where the data actually resides on the disk. You'd have to remove the adjacent partition before extending.

It prevents deletion, it's a recovery partition.

For longer setup, consider using MiniTool Partition Wizard. Some files might shift, which could slow things down and might need a system restart for MPW to function properly.

Allows removal of recovery partitions when booting from a Windows 10 installer USB. Navigate to the installation stage, choose the partition for Windows instead of a drive, click the recovery partition and pick "delete." Confirm the correct partition is removed, then reboot firmly to erase it.

You might also use DiskPart commands, confidently it should be the instructions sel disk 0 list part sel part 2; you need to choose the 400MB recovery partition, so whatever number you see, delete -f

Typically when Disk Management blocks deletion, diskpart also prevents it.

Recovery partitions stand apart from the rest. I've never managed to delete a partition through Disk Management, but diskpart always handles it. Just add the force flag—probably -f, though it could be something like "delete force."
