I bought a 500 GB Samsung SSD and while installing Windows 10, I somehow made an extra unused partition that is about 50 GB. So now I have a 450 GB SSD. Is there a way to combine that partition with my main one because even 500 GB isn't enough so I need as much space as possible. Thanks.
 
Solution
Should just be able to right click on the C partition and select "extend".

Might be the unallocated space rather than the C partition, I don't quite remember.

Can you post a screenshot from Disk Management?

Where is the partition located (left or right) of your main partition?
If to the right, you can right click & 'expand volume' (or something to that effect).
If it's to the left, it gets a little tricky, as you have to relocate it first.

thanks for the reply. I'll do that as soon as I get home
