I've got a new laptop today and it has a 256GB M.2 drive for the OS but I've got another M.2 drive from a laptop that stopped working and so I want to put it into the new laptop as a storage/games drive.
I've managed to put the drive in and Windows is recognising it but since it was the OS drive on the old laptop, there are the various Windows (I presume) partitions showing in Disk Management.
I have deleted the main volume and "reformatted" it and it's showing as being fine but I can't seem to find a way to get rid of the other partitions? (when I right click on these all I get is the "Help" tab - which ironically is no help!) - there are 3 others showing, 260MB for "EFI System", 952MB for Recovery Partition and another 12.65GB that also says Recovery Partition!?!?
Basically I just want rid of anything connected to the old OS and use the extra drive as a "D" drive for games & stuff.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this?
