Hey everyone, first time ever posting on any type of forum but I've run into a problem here. I recently purchased my first SSD and I'm not an expert but I know pretty basic stuff when it comes to PC's. Now the problem I've run into is that my SSD should have the 232.89GB capacity in my C drive but only shows 99.4GB I opened up the disk management overlay and see that there is 65.43GB of unallocated space and 66.86GB of Recovery Partition. I've seen previous topics of how to assign unallocated partitions a letter but my question is, how can I merge it all into my C drive so that I have it available in one place? Thanks for any help you offer.

Here's my desktop for reference:

If just yesterday, I would completely redo the whole installation, rather than trying to 'fix it'.

Disconnect all other drives.
Boot from your install media.
When it asks 'where', select Custom.
Delete ALL existing partitions, leaving one large space.
Let Windows use that, creating what it needs.

I just installed it last night, I had 2 1TB HDDs before, removed one and replaced it with the SSD and put the Windows on it by using the Media Tool provided by Windows on a USB
