Hi there, quick question? I recently transfered the data from my daughter's laptop (Where she had run out of space due to hoarding every bit of CC she could get her hands on for The Sims 3 and 4) by using windows' built in backup software. I created a disc image of the data, no problem... except because of the way the drive is formatted, it will not let me expand her 500gb "C" drive to the full 1 TB. Even though there's a ton of unallocated space on the drive. here's like system information drive, and then there's some other recovery partition between her "C" drive partition and the empty space. What do I need to do in order to access that space and expand her drive? Will deleting that recovery partition (idk how) do the trick?
