How? The partitions formerly occupied by Linux are now empty but they still exist. Delete volume emptied those partitions but did not merge them back into Windows partition. I would like to merge them C drive all in one partition for now. How can it be done?
I'm glad you found EasyBCD useful. Now you've cleared and also deleted your former Linux partitions if you right-click your Windows partition there should be an option to 'extend' it.
As Gringo95 mentioned, right click the Windows partition, Extend Volume, Disk 0 should already be selected in the right pane. Accept the "Select the amount of space in MB". Next, Finish.
@Gringo95 & @Bryan K -- Done. Now it looks like this... I'm not sure about the "Free Space" -- is that the way it's supposed to be?
It looks like you right clicked in the Unallocated space instead of the Windows partition. You have created a Primary Extended partition. Delete the green partition and try again.
@Brian K -- Done. No more green partition -- all white, all windows. That's all the changes I'm going to make on this computer (HP 6460b) for now. Aloha from Hawaii for all your excellent counsel. You, too, @Gringo95 & @act8192 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just received a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad T450s from a tech in Canada. He has done computers for me 3X before -- always perfecto supremo. I'm going to try Linux Lite (a New Zealand-made OS) on it now. Their logo is a broken feather. I wonder why.
Regarding primary Extended partitions. I no longer have this option in Disk Management. Win10 and Win11. Do others have this option? It's a MBR disk. GPT disks don't support Extended partitions. Same on 2 computers. I don't want an extended partition. But I'd like to know why Disk Management doesn't have the option. It did in the distant past.
