I was attempting to split my storage, but encountered a bluescreen. After restarting, everything appears normal except the drive now shows 921 GB free instead of the expected 931 GB. In Disk Management it still lists the partition as 931 GB with no extra partitions, and whenever you try to create a new one it reports 'wrong parameters'. How can I recover my 10 GB?

It seems the drive's partition table was corrupted during partitioning. Could you relocate the data off the disk and reformat it? Using a bootable USB with GParted could help.

I also have a new SSD ready for gaming, but C is my Windows and boot drive, so I'm uncertain if I can simply...transfer it.

You can duplicate your operating system onto a fresh drive. It might be helpful to adjust the partition size using a bootable USB first. Always save your files before proceeding, just in case. While software can be restored, personal information isn't recoverable.
