Hello, I moved my OS (Windows 10 64-bit) to an M.2 SSD using the Mini Partition Wizard feature. It essentially created a clone of the OS on the new drive and also transferred all four partitions from the old drive to the new one. These partitions appeared as small empty spaces (like 34MB for a 2GB space), filling up my file explorer. I tried deleting them all at once, but merging didn’t work—definitely not ideal. Now I’m facing an issue: one partition was essential for Windows, and the drive isn’t being recognized as a bootable SSD. Do you have any suggestions to avoid the lengthy reinstall process? Is there a way to recover that vital partition? Thanks in advance for your help.
