Hello!
I built a new PC recently (specs at the bottom of the post). When installing my operating system, I partitioned 20GB of my SSD onto which I placed Windows 10.
Now that my computer is up and running, am I able to safely un-partition my SSD and have my operating system and games on the same drive (unpartitioned), or will I run into problems if I try that? I just want my drives to be as uncluttered possible, and having the 20GB partition showing up as its own drive is a bit of an eyesore.
Thank you for any assistance!
