What am I missing here? Its got to be something simple and it's driving me nuts.Delete Key Not Working in Windows 10 In other words, will the system image tool in Control Panel detect un-allocated space and convert it to a healthy primary partition adjacent to my C partition so that I can finally merge them together with the mini partition tool? So in order for me to add that 35.23 GB of usable disk space to my C partition, do I have to first delete FACTORY IMAGE D and leave it un-allocated when I make a system image backup? I got that problem straightened out finally. The reason you see my FACTORY IMAGE in my disk management screenshot is because I had to re-image my computer because the mini partition tool didn't do a proper reboot after another operation I was performing earlier. When I dug deeper, I found that the Recovery environment that Windows 10 created and dropped (graciously) in the middle of my two partitions is not assigned a drive letter, but rather some signature code that makes it unique to the current OS. So now I can't use the "Merge" feature in the mini partition tool to add the 35.23 GB of usable drive to my C partition. What I didn't expect is when I formatted the partition and made it NTFS letter drive B, I thought when I used the "Align all partitions feature, that it would put the partition adjacent to partition C but the program states that all partitions are aligned already. I'm grateful to of had a current system image backup (always do) because when I deleted FACTORY IMAGE D, it became un-allocated space. The FACTORY IMAGE D above is useless to my computer now that I have been on Windows 10 Home (latest build) and Windows 10 so graciously dropped a 449MB Recovery Partition right between my partition boot drive C and the original Recovery Environment FACTORY IMAGE D, which I don't need anymore. I'm trying to do something with the mini partition wizard that is raved about on this site.
