Extend Main Partition As Basic Drive?

[yami759]

Hello. I've been trying to upgrade my hard drive and used Macrium Reflect to clone my drive to an old laptop's. Now, there is unallocated space left on the dirve, so I attempted to extend it. However, when doing this, it seems that, as it detects there is already 4 partitions (3 + 1 unallocated), and as you cannot have more than 4 partitions on a basic drive (I am not trying to make a 5th partition, however, but instead trying to combine the unallocated space to the main partition as previously stated), it tells me that I would need to turn this into a dynamic drive, which I do not want to do. Even IF I do this, I receive an error anyways. How can I combine these partitions? Thank you very much in advance!

To extend, the 56GB partition and the 163GB partition need to be right next to each other.

(one of the many issues with the whole 'clone' concept)

You can't extend the 2nd partition because there is nothing for it to extend into. The RECOVERY partition is in the way.
