Is it OK to Delete the 770MB+ Partition That Comes Before Drive D: Partition?

[Alvin777]

Hello Apple & Mac (and Windows for gaming) friends , as a backup to Windows 11 in case some apps don't work, on the same disk I created a partition for Windows 10 (Drive D, after years of testing that we can simplify to just using Windows 11, I'd like to delete partitions to add more space for Windows 11.

There is a 770MB+ partition in the middle of drive C: and drive D: can I delete that partition alongside Drive D: which is the Windows 10 partition. After deleting these two partitions I will merge it with Drive C: which is the Windows 11 volume and partition.

Thank you.

That is probably the recovery partition. Should be able to move the partitions around and reclaim your space from the D: drive.

Extend System Drive but Recovery Partition is in the Way Windows 11/10/8/7

Extend system drive but recovery partition is in the way in Windows 11/10/8/7, Virtual Machines or VMware. Instead of Disk Management, you can use third-party EaseUS Partition Master to extend C drive with noncontinuous unallocated space blocked by recovery partition.
