    Hi!

    I searched but did not find the answer. I did not find advanced search options in the forum. I need some help. I´d like to keep win10 only so I deleted the Android partition. My plan was then to move this unallocated space to be immediately adjacent to the win10 partition and then increase the win10 partition. However I try, I can´t move the partition. Perhaps it has to do with the unrecognized partition in between them?

    So far, this is what I´ve tried:

    -Windows Disk Management tool

    Fails to detect one of the small partitions in between the partitions. Looked for another tool.

     

    -Easus Partition Master

    Easus do detect both, see attached screen shot, but I can´t seem to move the partition.

     

    -Gparted

    So, I thought maybe this is because I´m logged into Windows fiddling with this. I installed an Ubuntu live USB and booted into Ubuntu and started Gparted. Just like Easus, Gparted detected all partitions but some of them where marked with a key. I tried to follow this instruction  http://gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=moving-space-between-partitions   but (I think) due to the fact that one of the partitions in between the old Android partition (24GB) and win10 partition (32GB) is unidentified, I could not move the empty space. I think.

     

    So now I turn to you guys 🙂   I´m out of ideas!  (And couldn´t find the answer using the search).

    Can anyone guide me how to solve it or is the only option to reinstall everything? Hopefully I can keep the Win10 install because I´ve spent a lot of time getting some special applications to work and they now finally do.

    Question:

    Can I delete these two partitions (according the attached screenshot in previous my post):

    *:SYSTEM   FAT32  100MB

    *:                  Other    16MB

    without breaking the ability to boot and run Win10?

    One more thing:

    TYPE

    *:SYSTEM         GPT (EFI System partition)

    *:                         GPT (Reserved partition)

    This one is probably Android and OK to delete.

    *:SYSTEM   FAT32  100MB

     

    But what about this one?

    *:                Other.
