Unallocated Space on an SSD

[mgoudreault1599]

Greetings,

It seems after cloning my OS to a brand new SSD, I have some unallocated space that I want to use. I've tried merging the partitions in Disk Management and EaseUS Partition Master. To no avail, nothing has worked.

Here is a screenshot:

Using EaseUS you have to resize recovery to occupy the entire space, then reduce size of the recovery but leave unallocated before partition not after, then resize your C: partition.

Thanks so much! It worked!

leave 10% of your SSD unallocated so TRIM can keep it optimized. It's called over provisioning.

Will do, thanks!

Also the 10% unallocated must be at the end of track (last portion of the ssd, where it was initially the unallocated).
