[SOLVED] Can I add an EFI partition to new SSD after I already installed Win 10

[SteveQ55]

So I just added an SSD to my HP PC with older standard HDD. Everythings running great and I want to format the old drive for storage but I see it has 3 partitions, mainly the EFI. Can I create a new EFI partition on the new SSD if I've already installed windows on it and what's the process? I checked and it's setup as GPT if that matters. Here's a screenshot of the disk management window,

I couldn't find a way to format the entire drive though, only format the main partition.

You have to delete D : first.
Then you can create a single large partition (using all drive capacity).

Listen to Skynet, he is not wrong often. And he advises with generally good advice. If you don't figure it out I'll be back on here tomorrow sometime and one of us can offer more specific instructions or advice.

Sorry, just seeing the last 2 comments. Both of you were a great help and got me to the finish line. I don't really see a reason to wipe it totally clean at the moment. It's just for file storage and I've already setup Dropbox with the specific folders I need synced up. The main project was adding the new SSD to a 5yr old PC and it was a huge success. I really wish I did this a long time ago. It's like night and day, running like a champ.

Again, huge thanks to both of you.
