Windows 10 HDD to SSD for primary partition

Question

Just upgraded boot partition to a 480gb SSD and its so much quicker, but.. Now my primary partition is divided as followed. [111.16GB System Reserved][224.53GB NTFS][111.333GB Recovery Partition] It pretty much split up all my storage into Recovery and Reserve leaving me with a very small portion of the disk. How can I shrink or remove this?

resize the **System Reserved** and **Recovery Partition** down to 600mb each. See below for gparted. — cybernard, Feb 19 '16 at 04:54

You can use a Linux application like gparted which is a nice partition manager through a live cd of Linux or installation. Parted magic is a live CD partition manager which us quite good. Also you can use windows cd to shrink those partitions. For example the best and convenient way is to use parted magic live cd.

Download the parted magic iso.
Make a usb live cd ( Refer rufus ).
Restart your computer and boot into usb
You will be presented with a nice gui and you'll be able to resize the partitions with ease.

How do you use these programs. The author clearly does not know how. There are existing questions and answers to those questions, that explain in detail how to use those programs, but this answer does not explain how to use those programs. *Comments should be kept to the comment section.* – Ramhound Feb 19 '16 at 13:47
