Removing recovery partition in Windows 10 help

[Rikki]

Hey folks

Just got a new laptop and upgraded it from 8.1 to 10 which was fine. As it only has a 128gb SSD and no HDD I want to get as much space available as possible.

Ive cleared off all the crapware using W10 reset but the different partitions are still there including an 11gb area I cant seem to access to remove or utilise.

How can I remove this and extend my main part to cover more of the drive?

Thanks

Thanks guys!

It was a brand new lappy with 8.1 - I hadnt installed a thing, grabbed W10 and did the upgrade.

Then did a W10 "reset" to remove everything, bloat, etc.

So got the original Tosh 8.1 crap on a USB via their media creator, got W10 avail via any other PC so I thought the recovery partition was a waste.

The machine was only spec'd with a 128gb SSD, it was one of the cheapest 1080p IPS screened laptops with SSD I could find and Im quite impressed with it for £499
