https://imgur.com/a/jCiY87H So i upgraded to a larger ssd from my 250gb ssd. I cloned it as is using acronis and now there is unallocated space at the very end of the disk. Is there any way I can allocate that space to my C:drive without reinstalling windows all together? Also what is the 900mb beside my C drive, and can i delete it? I'm usually a mac person. The windows disk management program seems lacking.

Gparted works on Linux live disks too. If needed, you might want to remove the recovery partition—it’s not from Microsoft—and the 900MB partition. Always make sure to back up first.

Yes, the recovery partition might originate from the cloning procedure.

Is it a ready-made system? This appears to be an OEM version that includes the partition setup.

It's an Asus prebuilt unit. Likely it contains a recovery disk for fixing all the extra software that comes bundled with the system.

Yes, it includes a lot of extra stuff from Asus. You can wipe it clean and reinstall using a standard ISO from Microsoft if required, and get the Asus files afterward.

The Recovery Partition was once the recovery disc for Asus computers. It contains a hidden section with a default image to restore the main system partition back to factory settings. This includes all standard Asus drivers plus unnecessary software. I’d recommend removing it and the 900MB space, then expanding the C drive to the full disk. If needed, you can make a bootable USB using Windows 10 via the Microsoft Media Creation Tool.

Consider making a bootable USB before removing partitions to ensure data recovery options.
