bruinator Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi, I am thinking on putting win 10 pro on a new partition. I am using gparted live to set it up but it appears all space is being used. I have 1 partition being used as:ntfs recovery part at 900 Mibunknown MS reserved part at 128 Mibntfs restore part at 15 GibDo I need any of these? If so, which ones do i keep and which is OK to delete and use for win 10 pro?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruinator Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 u need all of them especially the last oneif u want a new partition u should shrink the largest one and create a new oneFrom the word "shrink" do you mean resize the largest of all partitions? If so, I tried to but when I did, it wouldn't except it as the option to save it was grayed out with only cancel as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakihara73 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ohh yes, now it's clear. to increase your system partition I can do it under your OS (8.1, right?) with disk management tool (right click on windows flag at the right bottom, and choose disk management). here you can manage your partition, increase (extend) you system partition, move another, and so on.
