Right now, the OP has a Windows OS partition of 25GB.
I think we can all agree that this is far too small. Correct?
(If you think a 25GB partition is fine for Windows of anything more recent than XP, please explain your reasoning)
How to fix?
Either you can faff about with extending/deleting/moving partitions.
Or a simple wipe the whole stupid thing and reinstall.
If a family member came to me with this PC, I would spend maybe an hour trying to resurrect their personal docs. After that, go nuclear.
Wipe and reinstall. Screw shrink/extend/etc.
Fix the actual issue (too small partition), rather than trying to work around the problem.
Any partition management (extend/move/whatever) should be preceded by a full backup of that drive. In canse things go sideways.
Which i agree a backup should be done, but it's not necessary, there is no data on that partition. How exactly would I be able to just remove that partition and start new?
What is on the system?
What do you want the end state to be?
\On that 128GB SSD, have Windows only, on the whole drive.
Boot from your install media, and start the install process.
When is asks where, choose Custom
You will be presented with a list of all partitions on that drive.
Delete ALL of them
Let Windows install to that whole 128GB space, creating what it needs.
Now...if that 128GB drive has other stuff on it...GRUB or some other data...doing this will kill off all that.
So,
Where are we starting from and what do you want the end state to be?
